It is my first time taking notes in a livestock diary. I record the purchase of a sow and piglets, use of veterinary drugs, pigsty cleaning, disinfectant spraying, people coming in and out, and accounting entries. Everything is noted here. Livestock production and crop farming involve economic calculations.

I am aware of periodic injections. For example, I inject one dose of foot-and-mouth-disease virus every six months and one dose of parasite removal 10 days later.

In the photo, Lường Thị Quán is recording the date and type of injection in her livestock diary.
