INTRODUCTION
Todays
tour we were accompanied by Mr S Mosha and this time we were with Stream C. We
left at our institute at 06:30 AM and we reached at Narunyu at 08:30. As usual
student were introduced to Sister Mbunda there after schedule of activities
went on.
RECORD KEEPING
This
time student learnt the importance of keeping records. At the animal zoo there
is identification of each animal with their names, date of birth, mating date
and death date. So each animal will be known to its efficiency of producing
milk per day as well as its status.
BREEDING
The
present cattle milk are of fourth breed where by their ability to produce milk is
a little lower compared to the first breed. There are two reason which can be
able to explain this case.
a) Scientific
reason
Phenotype- These are
external factors which influence the internal factor not to work properrly in
such a way that the abilty of cattle to produce more cattle reduced.
b)
Economic reason
The
law of diminishing return can justfy this case efficiently. As you add more
unit of successive input (feeds, medicine, mating to produce cattle in order to
collect more milk) it will reach a point the output (milk) will be reduced.
First
breed were able to produce 20 litres each, while the fourth breed are able to
produce 8-15 litres per day. As entrepreneur you cant go on with this project
because it is invaluable.
Establishment
The Narunyu Sister
Agricultural centre was established in 1988 by Father Leonard Kobe. Momentarily
it has 680 cattle in which 50 are milk cattle while the rest are beef cattle,
the institute has several farm structures such as haye storage, silo pitt,
