The technical advice that I provided addressed farmers' problem and needs. Much as all were successfully done, there were also some little Challenges which hindered the smooth running of the activities making me recommend that proper mobilization of farmers must improve for 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 installed so that animals are treated and vaccinated in time.
