I was eagerly awaiting the 4-day Livestock Training of the WAWCAS program as I have never attended such a training. The first day of training was conducted by Sudesh and Rachana. In the first day of training we learned mainly about goat farming. First, we learned about the different types of goats which are available locally and internationally and then we learned about the history of goats and their purpose in our daily lives. After that we learned about the different types of diseases and their treatment. We also learned about making the modern shed for our livestock and its proper management. And at the end of the training, all of us received goat farming manuals which contains everything we learned on the first day.
The second day of training was also conducted by Sudesh and Rachana. In the second day of training we mainly learned about poultry, buffalo and pig farming. First, we learned about the different types of hens and chickens available locally and internationally and then we learned about their history and purpose in our daily lives. After that we learned about the different types of diseases and their local treatment. And at the end of the training, all of us received the poultry farming manuals which contains everything we learned on the second day.
The third day of training was conducted by YCT students from the Agriculture Campus in Lamjung. The third day of training mostly contained knowledge about modern agriculture. We learned about new technologies and strategies of mushroom farming and organic seasonal vegetable farming. After that we learned about the occurrence of different diseases in vegetables and their local remedies.
The fourth day of Training was also conducted by YCT students. The fourth day of training mostly addressed the new strategy of making organic compost manure from locally available resources. We even made the organic compost manure during the training which was fun and easy.
The four-day Livestock Training was fruitful, and it will help me run my business. The goat farming manual that we got during the training is also helpful and useful for running our business smoothly on a long-term basis. After pursuing this training, I will be implementing all the learnings in my business therefore, I feel really lucky and grateful to be a WAWCAS group member.
