Q

Animals have the following distinctive attributes that enhance the ability of an agricultural system to produce food for man:

A

a. Animals can feed on the convert plants and other materials which would have otherwise gone to waste, into rich human food; and

b. Animal products have chemical composition that closely resemble man’s dietary requirement and therefore more digestible and nutritious

is an art, science, and industry of breeding, feeding, care and management, and the marketing and processing of animals and their products for the purpose of obtaining profit from the enterprise.

Study These Flashcards
A

Animal Science

25
* Selection of animals is based on beauty and good looks aside from efficiency of production
Animal Science as an Art
26
* There are number of experimentations that need to be done in animal production to ascertain adaptability, efficiency of performance, system of management to use, inheritance of desirable traits and animal health to extract the most products from animals to meet human needs.
Animal Science as a Science
27
* Art and science are combined to make animal production a profitable activity * Available information and observation that will make the activity an economic one and the project stay competitive in the market are important in evaluation of decisions by the raiser * Proper knowledge of breeding, feeding, management systems based on updated information and desirable marketing practices must combine harmoniously to bring desired profit and brings the business concept to animal production
Animal Science as Industry
28
Objectives for raising animals
1. Profit – for animal production 2. Aesthetic value of psychological satisfaction – for raising the animals as pet
29
Advantages of Animal Production
1. A form of progressive agriculture 2. A type of diversified farming 3. Conversion of plant materials into valuable products 4. Sources of good food for the family 5. Utilization of products of factories 6. Animals improve soil fertility 7. It leads to the utilization of idle or non-arable lands 8. It leads to the utilization of land where labor is scarce 9. It has a good distribution of labor 10. Animal production makes good use of farm wastes 11. It reduces living expenses
30
Animal production can maintain or improve the fertility of the soil by enriching it with their manure and urine by:
a. organic matter added to the soil conserves moisture b. enhances the growth of the population of beneficial microorganism c. maintains proper soil pH suitable for plant growth d. bind soil particles to minimize soil erosion due to wind and water
31
Disadvantages of Animal Production
1. Big capital is necessary to start the animal project 2. Animal Products are perishable 3. Diseases cause big losses 4. Feed problems 5. Marketing problems 6. Transportation problems 7. Prices of animals always lag behind those of feeds
32
One who take care of the animal machine or specialist in the science of raising animal

Some contribution of animals to man:
- Food protein of high biological value - Enhancement of diet palatability - Soil conversion and enhancement - Stabilizers of our food economy - Companion animal and pleasure - Draft power and transportation - Fiber, medicine, other products - Genetic variation and nature conversion
44
common mammalian farm animals such as cattle, buffalo, hog, goat, sheep and horse
livestock
45

To continuously benefit man, man must be carried out in a manner being efficient
52
refers to the physiological well being of animals.
Animal health
53
Control of diseases/problems of Livestock and poultry will be successful through:
1. prompt and accurate disease diagnosis 2. appropriate treatment/cure of disease is present 3. planned measures and programs for disease prevention and management (example: herd health program vaccination, deworming/delousing, supplementation, regular testing, Biosecurity etc.)
