Abstract:
The industrial training is a module carried out by the students of Arapai Campus Busitema University and it is conducted at the end of Second semesters in the first year. The Industrial Training was done in Kibuku District local Government. The district is mainly engaged in mixed farming, the Community relies on livestock for drought power social status and acts as a way of saving.
However, in my Industrial Training, I participated in different field activities in the entire livestock sector in Kibuku district local government which include the following: -

In Poultry, I carried out monitoring of birds, vaccination, deworming.
In Pasture, I carried out pasture improvement, harvesting and cutting.
The Industrial Training was instrumental as I got equipped with practical ideas upon livestock and diary management.
In Kibuku District Local Government I conferment some obstacles like in Bovine they most disturbed by T. brucei, T. Congolense and T. Vivax (trypanosomes)transmitted principally by glossina SSP (tsetse fly), liver flukes, east coast fever which affects the health of animals, poor roads leading to some parishes, under my recommendation however management of Kibuku to construct a dip tank for proper control of ticks, and upgrade of roads in order to solve the above problems. I encourage farmers to carry out regular spraying to control.
