(a) Five ways of improving pasture

• Apply fertiliser or farmyard manure to raise soil fertility.
• Practise controlled/rotational grazing to avoid overgrazing.
• Introduce improved, high-yielding grass and legume species.
• Control weeds and undesirable plants.
• Reseed/oversow bare patches and provide irrigation where possible.

(b) Five organs of the digestive system of a rabbit

• Mouth.
• Stomach.
• Small intestine.
• Caecum.
• Large intestine (colon/rectum) - the rabbit also has an oesophagus and anus.

(c) Five precautions to be taken in the dipping of sheep

• Prepare the dip wash at the correct concentration.
• Ensure the whole body, including the head, is immersed.
• Do not dip sick, pregnant, tired or very young animals.
• Dip during the cool part of the day and allow the animals to drain afterwards.
• Do not dip animals on a completely empty or completely full stomach, and top up the dip wash regularly.
