S5 ACTIVITY OF INTEGRATION

(HARVESTING OF ANIMAL PRODUCTS)

Item 1.

At Mirembe Dairy Farm, morning milking begins soon after sunrise. The herdsman uses a plastic
basin that was earlier used for washing utensils. One of the cows has a swollen udder, but he still
proceeds to milk it first so he can finish quickly. Because he is in a hurry, he does not bother to
wash the cow’s udder or wipe. He smears the teats with cooking oil to ease milking and tests for
mastitis by pouring milk into his palms. The milker’s fingernails are long, and he begins work
without washing his hands with a loud radio placed nearby. Some animals are milked while
kicking them with legs. The milk is poured into an old paint tin since the stainless-steel bucket,
and a few strands of human hair fall into the basin unnoticed. The milk from the five cows varies
in quantity each day, though no one keeps track of individual yields. Sometimes milking is done
at 7 a.m., other days at 10 a.m., depending on when the herdsman finishes breakfast.

Task.

Advise Mirembe Dairy farm on how they can obtain clean milk from dairy animals.

Item 2.

At Bright Star Butchery Farm, the slaughtering of animals begins just after midday. The animals
are brought from the kraal in a hurry immediately after heavy feeding; they are chased and beaten
with sticks to make them run faster into the slaughter area. The slaughter house is made of rough
concrete with cracks that hold dirty water from previous slaughters. The knives used are blunt
and the slaughter men smoke and chat as they work. The animals cry loudly and struggle as they
are cut while still conscious. The workers wear ordinary clothes and open shoes. The meat is
placed directly on wooden boards that were used for cutting vegetables earlier in the morning.
There is no record of the animal’s source, age, or health condition, and the meat inspection stamp
is missing because the officer was absent that day.
Task.

Advise Bright Star Butchery farm on how they can obtain clean meat from their animals.
