Mushroom
project
We have decided to do mushroom growing again due to
the many benefits it has in spite of the many failures we have had in all the
previous trials. We are determined this time round to see at least one mushroom
body fruit because we are prepared to take extreme care by putting into
consideration the challenges we encountered before.
We realize that we the Biotechnologists are the ones
to help improve conditions under which mushrooms and other related foods are
grown to gain much more yields but we can achieve this, if we have no practical
feel of it and more so we cannot get motivated to research how to improve the
yield when we do not know how good it is to earn from this kind of work.
Soap
making
Our theme this academic year in Biotech and Research
Club is “getting thoroughly equipped for
job creation”. We therefore have selected soap making to be one of our
projects we are going to run this year because it supports or theme.
Making
pellets feeds for fish and rabbit and designing a computer program for it
Having
realized the growing demand for fish and rabbit feeds in form of pellets in the
country, the club has found it important to venture into the activity of making
the pellets. We believe that it is going to be a big foundation for scientific
research at Kyambogo University after the members have gained the basic knowledge
of making this kind of feeds. After designing a well-balanced recipe for our
feeds, we plan to write a computer program
me in corroboration with the IT students that will always help us to
calculate the ratios reflected in our designed recipe and any other standard
recipe that we may find better than the one we will have formed. In other words
for example if one has an ingredient containing a specific food value and he
has its weight but does not know the corresponding masses of other ingredients
that he should mix, our program will be able to help him figure out what mass
of which ingredient he is supposed to mix on which scale of production.
Ecology
of Kyambogo project
This project has been carried forward from the
previous academic year because it was half way done. We therefore believe it
will be complete by the end of this academic year and a full report written. Since
a little work is left for this project, we have added three other activities to
it that will feel the remaining time of the year.
