This
day was stream D turn, and guest tutors in this journey were Selemani Nannume
and Hilal S Hilali. As usual normal protocols were followed and for that matter
the time table arranged followed too.
SPRAYRACE
There
is huge sprayrace at Narunyu Sisters centre, where by a lot of animal can get
cleaned one at a time. Student got opportunity to see it and Sister Mbunda
demonstrated to them how water is pumped from the tank untill they reach to
sprinkler. The sprinkrers can watering animals in each sides, up and bottom,
left and right, once got cleaned animals are directed to resting yard.
COST
This
sprayrace is operated by electricity motor and it is very expensive for a
normal farmer to afford. A lot of agriculture insitutes do not posess this
machine because of it is high initial cost of purchasing.
SOURCE OF WATER
Narunyu
sisters center has plenty of water which help them to run their activities
efficiently. There is Nyasa liver stream which pass through 2500 hectare of
their area, and they use the stream to find their sources of water, and got big
tanks to collects water. As sister Mbunda said to establish the huge project
like they run you need to have plenty of water. One cattle can drink 47 litres
of water per day, the instute has 630 cattles, hence water is very important to
them for rising cattle as well as increasing production.
It was very fun.
