LIVESTOCK NUTRITION
NB: Animals need the following types of livestock rations..
1. Balanced diet
- Is a mixture of food containing all essential nutrients the animal needs in the right amount.
2. Maintenance ration
- This is the ratio given to an animal to maintain its good health and keep all its body processes functioning.
3. Production ration
- This is extra feed needed by livestock to enable them to achieve additional inputs.
THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVESTOCK RATIONS
• Animals get all the essential nutrients to grow and develop normally. • It keeps body health. • It provides energy. • It improves production, growth and reproduction. • Improves the reproduction efficiency of animals. • Decreases parasitic load in animals.
ANIMALS ARE AS WELL NEED TO BE PROVIDED WITH:
- Vitamins. - Minerals. - Protein. - Fat and Oil. - Water
In my opinion
ReplyDeleteYour exploration of livestock nutrition emphasizes the critical link between diet and animal productivity. A thorough analysis of nutrient requirements and the impact of regional feed variations adds depth to your findings. Future research could benefit from using models that predict long-term sustainability of different feeding strategies.
