The main topics covered during the trainings were animal welfare, barn conditions such as light, fresh air, ventilation, also feeding management, and proper milking.

The experts displayed photos of farms before and after their trainings putting the emphasis on the lack of light, ventilation, feed and water quality. Another interesting thing about the presentation was that the experts talked about the lack of minerals in pastures, which influences animal health conditions, decreases breeding level as well as food quality. If the farmer comes across this situation, s/he has to fertilize the pasture to avoid future problems.

Besides, they described the main issues in growing high-quality grass, preparation of corn silage, advantages of harvesting grass in proper conditions, etc. In the frames of the trainings, PUM experts visited several small farms in Sisian region of Syunik, in Sarnakunq and Shaki communities.

According to them after two weeks of transportation and bad conditions, the acclimatization of the imported animals will take longer, up to 2-3 years, resulting drop of productivity and health problems.
