At the end of this program
SVL, there are several benefits that I had gained. One of those is, how to interact with the
upper class when wanting to conduct an interview. Apart from
that, I can also enhance my skills in doing
group assignments/works to succeed
& launch the program smoothly during this pandemic
season. Not to forget, I can also learn a lot of new
interesting knowledge about cow’s milk management in the dairy
farm such as what factors help cow farms to produce high-quality fresh
milk, what are the cleanliness measure in manufacturing milk &
what is the awareness in choosing dairy milk product.
Hormones or steroids given by injection or beverage to livestock to accelerate
the growth, can contribute to a carcinogenic effect that causes cancer to
the public. The use of vitamins alone can not automatically fatten the cow,
even more in a short time. Many people do not know that vitamins and steroids
are two different entities and the way for us to identify what is injected into
a cow, is only through an examination by the authorities. Fattening of cattle
depends on the main food, namely forage such as fresh grass, hay, silage and some breeders
use concentrates
such as oil palm. Besides, vitamins and minerals are important and have many
roles in the body of animals including cell function, immune system,
nervous system, muscle function, normal growth and reproduction. From the questionnaire
through the interview, I obtained a new knowledge about the effects of hormone
injection used and I even made a study on this injection, it turns out that any
use of hormone
injections or growth enhancers to livestock for commercial purposes is prohibited in Malaysia. The approach for the
purpose of accelerating growth, in order to make a profit in the short term,
violates the provisions of the Akta Makanan Haiwan 2009 (Akta 698).
Moreover, I also improve my skill in
communicating with the community to distribute & encourage them to
answer our questionnaire survey. Thus, this allowed me to acquire
the knowledge and skills to learn and develop through thoughtfully
organized community activities and have an opportunity to obtain an in-depth
understanding of the value and impact of my work. Education has
the potential to be adventurous and exciting. Students need
initiative methods to learn. Therefore, different and varied learning
styles, coupled with reflection, give students the opportunity to
absorb the real effects. Students want to feel important and that what
they are doing is making a difference. Community
activities through this SVL program have made this difference to me.
Not to forget, the one who did a lot of contributions
for me and my group members, the Director who coordinated this
program --- Dr. Chung Hung Hui. He gave a lot
of guidance in working hard to make the SVL program
a success. In my opinion, this SVL program should be continued
& maintained in the future of the younger generation to produce
first-class human beings who deepen their understanding to be
civilized with society.
