Skills and innovations on Irrigation were taken a notch higher. A water pump using the ''Boda Boda'' bike engine is here with us. 
You just buy and fit the gadget plus the pipes and pump water to the farms, when you are done you fix you Boda and ride home!
ADC was exhibiting a technology called embryo transfer. 

A Boran cow is given a fertile embryo from a high grade Friesian cow, the former plays the role of a surrogate mother due to its strength to deliver; a well fed Borana cow can produce just enough milk to feed the calf.
