In conclusion all the activities were implemented and industrial train g 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 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 be improved for the training programs to solve problems of poor turn up during such activities, Bukwo district local government should also increase the number of Assistant Animal husbandry officers and motorcycles to improve on transmission of animal extension service delivery to the farmers and solve transport problems and more equipment as well as veterinary drugs to be installed so that animals are treated and vaccinated in time.
