The farm practice was conducted at 3G Gold Farm in Brgy. San Pedro Bangku Bamban Tarlac. During the farm practice, the student trainee was exposed to the actual and hands-on training in swine production and management. It also helped the student to determine the different housing facilities, machineries and equipment used in the farm. The student trainee was also given an opportunity to determine the problems encountered in the farm and seek for possible solutions that can help to improve the farm.
