Abstract:
Industrial training is the training conducted by all students in Buac which include DAP, CGA, DCP, BSA, and APM
I conducted my industrial training in kasajja stock farm which is located in Kolony zone one Nakaloke town council in Mable district.
The IT commenced on 28/02/2022 and ended on 06/05/2022 at kasajja stock farm
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 ksf practically guided me to better understanding of my classroom work with regard to course. These activities include the following
Dipping cattle with acaricide called cypermethin in concentration of 6400 litters of water to
12800mI of acaricide dehorning and debuding of calf horns, deworming with albendazole orally
Routine and management practices like milking, cleaning calf pen and feed calf by bucket feeding, feeding animals zero grazing and cleaning milking pallor
Fish pond management practices and fish sampling, community outreach and crop management practices. However, during the training, I succumb to some challenges like stress due to new environment, high cost of living long distances and weather challenges
In conclusion despite of the challenges the training was successful and various skills were acquired
I recommend dipping of animals regularly done in two-week interval because tick borne diseases cause diseases of importance in veterinary
The farm should establish pasture legumes in order to increase milk production
