The document summarizes the results of a 7-week swine production training program, including: - Key activities learned like artificial insemination, castration, medication administration, and feeding/cleaning. - Technical results for individual sows and the whole unit, including litter size, mortality rates, and growth performance. - Observations made on farm facilities, staff, and operations. - Lessons learned from hands-on experience and recommendations to improve the farm. The training program provided practical experience in applying swine breeding, feeding, and management concepts. Trainees gained skills through activities like artificial insemination and medication administration. Production results and daily records and were analyzed.

3. 1 Introduction / Highlights
Training program in swine production become memorable to us, we are here to

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

12. 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.

13. 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)

14. 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.

15. 4 Learnings Gained

16. 4 Learnings Gained

17. 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 activity
Have a whole day or 1 weekly scheduled traineeship before immersion to practical
training

18. 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.
