Beohringer gives scholarships to help animal docs

Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health China, a subsidiary of German pharmaceutical giant Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, plans to add more scholarships and teaching resources to its talent development projects in China's animal husbandry sector.

The idea is to help the country compete with players in developed economies over the next five years.

As the animal husbandry industry has played an important role in helping secure food supplies and raising farmers' incomes, the company has established various types of scholarships to encourage hardworking veterinary students. A total 553 students received awards between 2006 and 2016.
