Study Notes

Egg-Laying Animals

Poultry birds are an example of egg-laying animals

Farm Animals

Importance of farm animals:
Economic role: economic diversification, risk distribution, food supply, raw materials, revenue generation, and income generation
Socio-cultural role: enhances farmer status, used in cultural and religious festivals, gifts, bride prices, and sporting activities
Role in farming system: land, animal, and plant relationship

Livestock Management/Production Systems

The system of management of farm animals depends on:
Scale of output
Financial capacity
Available physical resources: land, labor, and pastures
Four systems of managing farm animals in Nigeria:
Nomadic herding
Free range system
Semi-intensive system
Intensive system
Ultimate objectives of livestock production:
Health of final consumers
Adequate supply of good-quality animal products
Huge profits on investment
Sustenance of livestock production systems

Requirements for Livestock Management

Selection of animals: genetic makeup, health, age, fertility, and fecundity, breed, and conformation
Feeding: nutrient composition, physiological state, and basic calculations
Housing: location, type of animal, type of production, and type of management
Grooming of farm animals: brushing, washing, and cleaning of the body
Watering
Technical expertise about the enterprise and breed required
Knowledge of pests and diseases
Vaccination of animals and biosecurity measures

Benefits of Grooming

Keeps animal free from ectoparasites and prevents transfer to others
Tames the animal for easy handling
Quick detection of wounds, cuts, and injuries, and sickness
Detection of animals on heat
Facilitates basic operations such as dehorning, tattooing, and castration
Stimulates milking

Principles of Livestock Management

Grooming of farm animals is essential for their health and well-being

Calculations in Livestock Management

Total weight gain: the total weight an animal has gained for a given period of time
Average daily gain (ADG): the average amount of weight an animal has gained each day for a given period of time
Weekly body weight gain
Feed to gain (F/G) or feed conversion ratio: the amount of feed that is eaten by an animal for each weight the animal gained

Fish-Raising and Poultry Culture

Integration of fish and poultry farming provides benefits such as efficient fertilization of ponds and reduced expenditure on fish feed
Stocking density of fishes is related to that of poultry and the period of culture
Fish yield of over 3900 kg per hectare can be obtained along with 42,000 eggs and 200 culled birds in a year
