School Conducts Field Trip To Dairy Farm
By Ben Ng

Bandar Seri Begawan - Mashhor Dairy Farm received a visit from 77 children, all of whom were students aged three to six from the Joyful Kids Montessori School, last Saturday.

The children, accompanied by their teachers and parents, were given the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of dairy producers - the cows.

"This is our first visit here, and as we have been learning more on vertebrates and mammals, we thought it would be a good-idea to expose the children and give them some first-hand experience," said the school principal, Caroline Wong.

"Saturday's excursion marked the fourth field trip the children made this year, said the principal. "Prior to this, we went to the Duolos ship and the Fisheries Department."

Mashhor Dairy Farm Operations Manager said this was the second visit they received this year. "The first was from UBD."

"We are currently undergoing renovations, so certain areas are restricted, for safety reasons," the operations manager said.

"If (the visitors) came at around 6am to 7am, they would have been able to view how the milking process is carried out," he added.

"The milking process requires certain skills. You have to be very gentle when milking (the cows)," said the operations manager.

"On good days, the farm can produce a maximum of 18 litres per day. The minimum would be six litres." -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
