Perform basic field infrastructural maintenance

What maintenance is about in the field is more about monitoring around the farm to check for any broken fences where animal could have escaped and how the fence where damaged animals\people that poach.
When we find a broken fence wile monitoring we look if we can fix the fence with the equipment that we have just for preventing animals from escaping.
Maintenance is also about driving around on the farm and picking up papers for the safety of all the animals and also the neatness of the place and farm you are working at.

We also have driving roots and walking trails that should be checked for grass and bush that's in the path of the roads and should be cut of.

Some tools we use for cutting bush and grass


The panga is used for cutting thick  bushes and roots that stick out of the ground where people can fol over .And is also used for cutting smaller branches .


 The slasher is used for cutting the grass that is being growing over the walking paths.








The brush cutter is also used for grass but also for













Here we throw amipore in the dincking applicator it is a sort of poison that prevent tick control. At the bottom of the dincking applicator we  throw food that is cold boskos for the animals so what happens is that the buck eats the boskos and the poison drips down the pipe and puts the poison on the animals neck and absorves into its blood system and it prevents ticks from sitting on the animals .
