Traineeship report (group 1)

1 Introduction / Highlights

Training program in swine production become memorable to us, we are here to realize our common goals; to adapt knowledge and to learn.

For 7 weeks duration of training we learned lots of perspective specially in swine breeding, feeding and management.

April 20-29, 2016 (Small Unit 1) 8 days • Conduct A.I.• Castrate 11 piglets• Treatment of Diarrhea

• Using LABS• Injection of Antibiotics

(Amox)• Oral Medication (Aquadox)• Injection of Electrolytes• Feeding pigs• Cleaning of pens/perimeter• Checking of nipple drinker• Experience weaning two

batches of piglets

May 2, 2016 ( A.I. Lab) 1 day • Semen Collection• Semen Processing

• Checking of semen motility• Computation of extender:

semen solution

FEED CONVERSION RATIO

3 Observations

1. Farm Traineeship• Conducive for learning• Put knowledge and skill into test• Learning by doing

2. Facilities• No drainage inside the feeding trough, water and rancid/spoiled

feeds accumulates inside.• Low water supply in nipple drinkers for lactating sow.• Oversized GI pipes used in the farrowing crates/pen.

3 Observations

3. Farm Staff• Very cooperative farm staffs.

• Sir Dennis• Sir Elmer

4. Other Observations• Wall partition is not according to standard height (1 meter).• Feeding trough cannot accommodate 10 heads of piglets per pen

during feeding.• No perimeter fence around the Biogas chamber. ( Escaped piglets

may fall through the hole)

4 Learnings Gained

• We observed short weaning-service interval (7 Days).

• LABS was effective in scouring piglets.

• Stimulation of breeder sow.

• Semen collection and processing

• Medicating piglets.

• Single slit castration.

4 Learnings Gained

4 Learnings Gained

5 Recommendations

1. Farm Operation• Recording system particularly daily operations,• Cleaning of farm facilities during weekends.

2. Farm Facilities• Provide wallowing area for finishers during summer.• Plant trees to provide shade.• Weighing scale.

3. Traineeship as a practical activityHave a whole day or 1 weekly scheduled traineeship before immersion to

practical training

6 Summary and Conclusion

• Applies all concepts by “ Learning by Doing”

• A perfect place to ask all your questions and put all your knowledge and skills to the test and practice.

• Gain practical experience on farm management.

• The results of learning are very positive, as the trainees can connect what they learned in the farm with the studies as well as develop critical thinking.
