During the training it began with orientation of the students in and around the organization and working environment which include managers, farm land, farmers and introduction of the staff
The technical personnel of kasajja stock farm practically guided me to better understanding of my classroom work with regard to my course. These tasks include the following,
Dipping cattle with acaricide called cypermathrine ne in concentration of 6400 liters of water to 12800mI of acaricide, dehorning and de ding of calf horns, deworming with albendazole orally
Routine and daily management practices like cleaning of milk polour, cleaning calf pen cleaning of water and feed troughs. Fish pond management practices and fish sampling, community outreach and crop management practices. However, during the training, I faced some challenges especially during out reaches because long distances visiting different farming families.
In conclusion, despite of the challenges faced during industrial training was successfully accomplished and I was motivated, my future career and attitude towards agriculture have improved to a greater extend of my feature career
I do recommend that dipping of animals should regularly done within two weeks interval because of tick borne diseases that causes diseases of veterinary importance. In addition, the farm should at least establish pasture legumes d supplement animals for example mineral leaque, vitamin premix that help to boost the animal bodies and immunity.
