our 2nd week..

April 23

Today is Monday so we attended the flag ceremony. Sir Daniel gave another speech regarding the Earth Day celebration yesterday, April 22.
Ma'am Flerida divided us into two groups. Our group (Aisha, Chari, Gelli, Mitzi, Alex, Jonathan, Ramon and I) were assigned to the livestock department whilr the others were at the crops section.
We were introduced to Sir Daniel, the senior agriculturist. He gave us an assignment which was to make a poster about cattles.

April 24

We were toured and at the same time lectured on the livestock and poultry sections in the campus by Sir Javis.
He presented to us the incubator they're using to hatch the eggs. The incubator heats the eggs and after the thermostat reaches the maximum temperature the bulb automatically turns off to cool down. Then, after reaching the minimum temperature, the bulb automatically turns on again. Sir Javis told us that the eggs should also be rolled from time to time so that each area of the egg receives equal amount of heat.
We learned that there are two types of incubation: artificial and natural. Natural incubation is done by the hen through laying while artificial uses electricity with human intervention.
Sir Javis showed us the Brooding cage where newly hatched chicks are raised. It has a bulb to maintain heat and the base is covered with a sheet of newspaper where the feeds are spread.
We also watched Sir Javis feed the chickens.
The rest of the day was spent for making our poster. Making the poster was fun because we had become more acquainted with our groupmates and some of the agriculturists in the office like Sir Ginno and Ma'am Anelyn.

April 27

This is the last day in the Livestock section.

We already finished our poster and we're ready to pass it. Since Sir Daniel wasn't in office today, we passed it to Sir Ginno.

We were dismissed early because of the rain.
