The objective of this industrial training is to make students benefit from the skills and knowledge gained from the fields, apply the knowledge they get. from the classroom. in the field and build confidence in the students. During internship I was attached to the department of animal production. This was followed by orientation where I was first introduced to the Production staff and prominent farmers. I implemented the activities such as; castration of male goats for fattening, General animal treatment, Pasture establishment and management. These activities have helped me to gain a lot of skills and knowledge like; De-worming of goats and cattle, skills in Castration, skills in general management of animals, communication skills and confidence in training farmers on animal management. During internship, I also faced some challenges like: poor mobilization of the farmers, 1ack of veterinary drugs and equipment at the District, Limited transport means for field workers, the production department and poor. turn up of the farmers to the training. In conclusion all the activities were implemented and industrial training was carried out successfully. was able to- gain a lot from it. I was in position of getting practical skills and knowledge in line with my career and relating with people in the field, The technical advice that I provided addressed farmers' problem and needs. Much as all were successfully done, there were also some-challenges which hindered the smooth running of the. activities making me recommend that proper mobilization of farmers must. improve the training programs to solve problems of poor turn up during such activities; government should also increase the number of motorcycles to solve transport problems and more equipment and. veterinary drugs to be stocked so that animals are treated and vaccinated in time.
