HARD WORK BUILDS STRENGTH: LESSONS FROM POULTRY AND LIFE

August 08, 2026

Have you wondered why skimmed milk is sometimes used during poultry vaccination? It helps protect live vaccine viruses from substances that may reduce their effectiveness. Knowledge strengthens practice.

As a young learner at Rahmat Farm, I noticed a veterinarian using skimmed milk during vaccination. Curious, I asked questions instead of judging. Curiosity creates understanding.

My research confirmed that skimmed milk can help protect live vaccines against harmful effects from chlorine and other substances in drinking water. Understand before copying.

Since establishing Abak Farms commercially in 2018, I worked continuously until 2024 without taking a day off. Those years strengthened my resilience. Consistency builds capacity.

Even after relocating to the United Kingdom, I remained occupied with work and responsibilities. Previous years of demanding work made challenges easier to handle. Hard work develops strength.

My message is simple: embrace honest work, keep learning, ask questions, and remain consistent. The discipline you build today strengthens tomorrow’s success. Work hard, grow stronger.
