Introduction Of Poultry Building

Front 1

Livestock Production

Back 1

Its main purpose is to convert energy in feed into products that can be utilized by human beings.

Front 2

Extensive Farming

Back 2

Uses small inputs of labor, fertilizers and capital, relative to the land area being farmed.

Front 3

Extensive Farming

Back 3

All animal production adapted to the existing environment.

Front 4

Extensive Farming

Back 4

Survival emphasized rather than productivity.

Front 5

Extensive Farming

Back 5

Modest to considerable human activity.

Front 6

Extensive Farming

Back 6

No or very few purchased inputs.

Front 7

Extensive Farming

Back 7

Animals fed near or only marginally above maintenance requirements for almost their entire lives.

Front 8

Extensive Farming

Back 8

Animal products are available only during certain seasons.

Front 9

Intensive Farming

Back 9

Higher levels of input and output per cubic unit of agricultural land area.

Front 10

Intensive Farming

Back 10

Animals' environment modified to suit highly specialized genotypes and production systems.

Front 11

Intensive Farming

Back 11

Productivity is emphasized.

Front 12

Intensive Farming

Back 12

High energy subsidy.

Front 13

Intensive Farming

Back 13

Animals fed considerably above maintenance for almost all of their productive lives.

Front 14

Intensive Farming

Back 14

Usually low labor - high automation.

Front 15

Intensive Farming

Back 15

Seasonal or total confinement.

Front 16

Intensive Farming

Back 16

Cereals grown specifically for livestock feed.

Front 17

Intensive Farming

Back 17

Disease prevention emphasized.

Front 18

Intensive Farming

Back 18

Animal products available throughout the year.

Front 19

Farm Structures

Back 19

Different types of physical constructions that are put up in a farm for the purpose of livestock and crop production.

Front 20

Farm Structures

Back 20

Help increase efficiency of agricultural production.

Front 21

Behavior Pattern

Back 21

Behavior variation within a species is caused mainly by differences in the environment and between the sexes, breed, strain and individual variance also have an influence.

Front 22

Social Rank Order

Back 22

Physical age and weight are the main factors determining social rank, sex, height and breed can also be an influence.

Front 23

Social Rank Order

Back 23

Usually fight to establish dominant/subordinate relationships.

Front 24

Cattle

Back 24

Normally live in herds but when giving birth, they attempt to find quiet and sheltered place away from the disturbance of others.

Front 25

Hens

Back 25

Spends considerable time in the selection of nest, which is on the ground.

Front 26

Nesting

Back 26

Is characterized by secrecy and careful concealment.

Front 27

Sows

Back 27

Are nest-builders and should be transferred to clean farrowing pens one to two weeks before giving birth and given some bedding with which they can build a nest.

Front 28

Animals

Back 28

Must be protected from rain, wind or high sunlight intensity in order to keep healthy.

Front 29

Harvested Crops

Back 29

Must be protected from water, insects, fungi and extremes of temperature.

Front 30

Farm machinery

Back 30

Must be protected from rain and dirt to keep depreciation level to a minimum.

Front 31

Artificially reared calves

Back 31

They bunt the buckets instead of the cow's udder and this requires a strudy holder for the bucket.

Front 32

Sheep

Back 32

Are vigilant and tight-flocking, and respond to disturbances by fleeing.

Front 33

Sheep

Back 33

They move best from dark into light areas and dislike reflections, abrupt changes in light contrast and light shining through slats, grates or holes.

Front 34

Heat Regulation

Back 34

Balancing internal heat production and heat loss to the environment.

Front 35

Hypothalamus

Back 35

Acts as a body thermostat by stimulating mechanisms to counteract either high or low ambient temperatures.

Front 36

High-yielding animals

Back 36

Are consequently more likely to suffer from heat stress in a hot climate.

Front 37

Latent heat

Back 37

Evaporation of moisture from the lungs and skin.

Front 38

Latent Heat

Back 38

Change in phase.

Front 39

Sensible heat

Back 39

No change in phase.

Front 40

Sensible heat

Back 40

Surplus of heat is conducted to the skin transferred to the atmosphere by means of convection, conduction and radiation.

Front 41

Ventilation

Back 41

Heat and moisture produced by the animals confined in a structure must be removed by ___________

Front 42

Open-sided structures

Back 42

In the tropics, Sufficient air flow is usually provided by the use of ____________

Front 43

Temperature too high

Back 43

Chicks make no noise, chicks pant, head and wings droop and chicks are away from brooder.

Front 44

Temperature correct

Back 44

Chicks are evenly spread. Noise level signifies contentment.

Front 45

Temperature too low

Back 45

Chicks crowd to brooder. Chicks noisy, distress calling.

Front 46

Draught

Back 46

This distribution requires investigation.

Uneven light distribution -external noises.

Front 47

Temperature

Back 47

Overriding environmental factor affecting the physiological functions of domestic animals is _____________

Front 48

Comfort zone

Back 48

Mean daily temperature in the range of 10-20°C

Front 49

Very young animals

Back 49

More sensitive to its thermal environment and requires higher temperature.
