Abstract:
This report contains. and describes the activities implemented, skills and qualifications gained, challenges faced during the industrial training, conclusion of the report and recommendations derived from the challenges faced at Kibuku District Local Governrnent. 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. 1 was attached to the department of animal production. This Was followed by orientation where I was first introduced to the different extension workers by the DVO and later implemented the activities such as; meat inspection, artificial insemination, castration mobilization of farmers on animal management, animal treatment, ecto parasite control, vaccination of cattle dogs and cats against FMD and rabies in the district and poultry vaccination. These activities have made me to gain a lot of skills and knowledge like; Deworming of goats and cattle, skills in Castration skills in general management of animals, communication skills and confidence in training farmers on animal and crop management. During internship, I. also face some challenges- like; poor mobilization of the farmer, lack of veterinary drugs and equipment at the district, limited transport means for field work in the production department and poor turn up of the fanners to the training. In conclusion all the activities were implemented and industrial training was carried out successfully. I 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 1 provided addressed farmers' problems 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.
