    PREFACE
    This report covers accurately all the practical agricultural activities during the
    2018/2019 industrial training in Imo State University Teaching and demonstration
    farm. During my stay at the farm, I was exposed to various farm management
    practices, market and community survey. The training cut across raising of day old
    birds (broiler mgt) to sell after reaching market weight, management of pregnant
    and nursing sows (pigs), production of pig, weaners and pokers production of fish
    from fingerlings to consumption of marketable size, management of layers,
    apiculture and under crop section, we were exposed to fruited pumpkin, cassava,
    maize and then for farm management operation.
