Summer Class

                We had a summer class last April 2013 up to May 2013 as part of our BSA curriculum; it is called as AGSC 99, PRACTICUM (SKILLS DEVELOPMENT IN AGRICULTURE). It is composed of twelve topics which are Poultry Production, Meat Processing, Sine Production, Ruminant Production, Feed Formulation, Orchard Establishment, Vegetable Production, Postharvest, Plant Propagation, Crop Protection, Computer Operation and Parliamentary Procedure.

                In Poultry production, we teach us on how to make a brooding pen for chicks and compute for the production cost of birds. In Meat processing, we make tocino and hamburger patties and compute for its total cost. In Swine production, we practice on giving injectable medicines to the hogs and we measured the girth and length of it. In ruminant production, we discussed about ruminant animals and the foods/forages they eat. In feed formulation, we teach us how to formulate feed nutrition to the animals. In Orchard establishment. We've done layouting in the field. In vegetable production, we teach us the Fertilizer computation. In Postharvest, we discussed about the different practices after harvesting. In Plant propagation, we discussed about the seeds and different planting materials. In Crop Protection, we collected some weeds and diseased plants to identify. In Computer Operation, we teach us to work on Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint, I enjoyed this part. In parliamentary procedure, we discussed on how to act in this activity, we've done some demonstration. I enjoyed our summer class 2013.
