Farmers attending the training will spend 60% of their time on practical ‘hands on’ farm activities on training facilities. The remaining 40% of their time will be used to explain theoretical background and facilitate group discussions. Every farmer will be provided with rubber boots and clothing.

The training is unique as it takes place on existing, full operational dairy farms such as Sikiru Farm in Meru and uses their infrastructure. The training encourages all farmers to embrace good dairy management practices: each farm with its own challenges and solutions on feed supply, fodder production, disease control, housing and milk marketing.

The on farm training allows the farmer to gain very practical skills in dairy production. Skills that can be put into practice immediately to grow towards a more profitable dairy farm. The courses have a low entry level, but a basic level of English will be required.

Other courses can be offered at the request of the customer. For more information about G.A.D. licensed Practical Dairy Training  contact Sigrid : info@gad-foundation.com
