An Industrial training report carried out at National Genetic Resource Centre and Data Bank (NAGRC&DB) Njeru Stock Farm Buikwe District

Abstract

I carried out my internship training from Njeru stock farm p.o.box 1715, Njeru. Njeru Stock Farm is located along Jinja-Kampala Highway 5 km off Nnyenga Road, Kiryowa Village, Njeru South in Njeru Central Division, Njeru Municipality. The farm, has a number of animals units which include: cattle unit, piggery unit and goat unit This report brings forward the following findings during the field work attachment at Njeru Stock Farm from 26th/02/2022-22nd/04/2022 when I was at farm, I was engaged in various activities which include the following: Deworming, dehorning/ disbudding, fencing cattle dipping, pasture management and Improvement. cleaning, all units. disease diagnosis and treatment of animals, record Keeping, breed identification, drug identification, bucket feeding of calves, milking and ear tagging. During my internship training, l acquired most of the practical Skills which include: dipping animals, record keeping, treating animals, learning/ knowing different routes of administration with different dosages, deworming animals orally, disease, diagnosis} milking and among others. However, while in my internship, l faced a lot of challenges like shortage of water for Cleaning and watering animals moving long-distance from the place of residence, to the farm, hilly nature of the land and bad weather. Despite of these challenges, I thank God so much who helped me to finish well/ excellently because I attained the goals and objectives needed in my study during fieldwork. Lastly, I recommend that hostels/accommodation should be constructed for internees to avoid long, distance; hydroelectricity power should be introduced at the water source in order to pump water from Lake Victoria instead of using tractors, Industrial training should be strengthened because it gives a wide field of learning hence gaining more skills and knowledge needed for practical work.
