(a) List ten poultry equipment and state the main use of each. (b) Name two parts of a tractor involved in the coupling and operation of implements. (c) State four maintenance practices of a tractor.

Answer

(a) Ten poultry equipment and the main use of each:

Equipment	Main use
Feeder (feeding trough)	Holds feed for the birds to eat
Drinker (waterer)	Supplies clean drinking water to the birds
Incubator	Hatches fertile eggs artificially
Brooder	Provides warmth for day-old chicks
Laying nest / nest box	Provides a place where layers lay their eggs
Cages / battery cages	House the birds, especially layers
Perches (roosts)	Provide resting places for the birds
Debeaker	Trims the beaks to prevent cannibalism and feather-pecking
Egg tray / crate	Collects, holds and stores eggs
Vaccinator / syringe (and lighting)	Administers vaccines and drugs (lighting stimulates laying)

(b) Two parts of a tractor involved in coupling and operation of implements:

The drawbar / three-point hitch (linkage) for coupling (attaching) implements.
The power take-off (PTO) shaft for transmitting power to drive the implements.

(c) Four maintenance practices of a tractor:

Check and top up the engine oil, hydraulic oil, coolant (water) and fuel regularly, and change the oil at the recommended intervals.
Grease and lubricate all moving parts and check the tyre pressure regularly.
Clean the air, oil and fuel filters and the radiator; wash the tractor after work.
Service the battery and check nuts, bolts and belts; carry out repairs promptly and keep the tractor under shelter when not in use.
