Awọn alaye Idahun
The natural immunity to diseases in calves is acquired through access to colostrum. Colostrum is the first milk produced by a cow after giving birth to a calf. It contains high levels of antibodies and other immune-boosting compounds that help protect the calf from infections and diseases during the first few weeks of life. Calves that do not receive colostrum are at a high risk of contracting infections and diseases, as their immune system is not fully developed yet. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that calves receive colostrum from their mothers within the first few hours of birth.

Awọn alaye Idahun
The property of soil which cannot easily be changed by a farmer is the texture of the soil. Soil texture refers to the size of the mineral particles that make up the soil. The three main soil textures are sand, silt, and clay. The texture of the soil has a significant impact on the soil's ability to hold and release water, as well as its fertility and productivity. It also affects how easily the soil can be worked, how well it can support plant growth, and how susceptible it is to erosion. While farmers can take steps to improve other soil properties such as porosity, structure, and acidity by adding organic matter, fertilizers, or other soil amendments, the texture of the soil is more difficult to change. This is because the size and distribution of the mineral particles that make up the soil are largely determined by the geology and parent material of the area. In summary, the property of soil that cannot easily be changed by a farmer is the texture of the soil. While farmers can improve other soil properties through soil management practices, the texture of the soil is largely determined by the geology and parent material of the area and is more difficult to alter.

Awọn alaye Idahun
Piercing and sucking insect pests are a type of insect that feed on the sap or juices of plants. To do this, they possess specialized mouthparts that allow them to pierce the plant and suck out its fluids. The specific mouthparts they have are called probosces. Probosces are a type of elongated mouthpart that function like a straw, allowing the insect to penetrate the plant's surface and extract fluids. They are often long and slender, and may be curved or flexible to help the insect navigate around obstacles and reach different parts of the plant. In contrast, mandibles, maxillae, and labrums are mouthparts found in other types of insects, such as chewing insects. These mouthparts are used to cut, crush, and grind plant material before it is consumed. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: Probosces.

Which of the following developments could result from defoiratation?
Awọn alaye Idahun
Deforestation is the removal of trees and forests from an area, resulting in negative impacts on the environment. One of the possible developments that could result from deforestation is an increase in soil erosion. When trees are removed, the soil becomes more exposed to rain and wind erosion, leading to soil degradation and loss of fertility. Deforestation can also lead to a decrease in soil porosity, as the roots of trees help to create channels and spaces in the soil for air and water to circulate. Additionally, deforestation can contribute to climate change, which can lead to a decrease in soil temperature, but it is not a direct result of deforestation. Finally, deforestation does not increase soil pH as it usually leads to a decrease in soil acidity.

Awọn alaye Idahun
When a piece of land is rented to a farmer for a period of time, it is said to be on lease to the farmer. A lease is a contract between the owner of a property and a tenant, which grants the tenant the right to use the property for a specified period of time, usually in exchange for rent payments. In the case of land, the tenant may use it to grow crops or raise livestock for agricultural purposes. The lease agreement specifies the terms and conditions of the rental, such as the duration of the lease, the amount of rent to be paid, and any restrictions on the use of the land. At the end of the lease, the land is returned to the owner. Therefore, when a piece of land is rented to a farmer for a specific period of time, it is said to be on lease to the farmer.

Which of the following compounds can be used to seal soil pores and prevent loss of water in a fish pond?
Awọn alaye Idahun
Calcium carbonate can be used to seal soil pores and prevent the loss of water in a fish pond. Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound that is commonly found in rocks, shells, and pearls. It is an alkaline substance that can neutralize acids, making it an effective soil amendment that can improve soil structure and fertility. When added to a pond, calcium carbonate reacts with the water to form calcium ions and carbonate ions. These ions react with clay particles in the soil to form a hard layer that can seal the soil pores and prevent water from escaping. As a result, the water level in the pond can be maintained, and the aquatic environment can be improved.

Awọn alaye Idahun
The mating of a White Fulani bull and an N'dama cow could be termed as crossbreeding. Crossbreeding is the process of mating two animals from different breeds or varieties. The offspring of such a mating are known as crossbreeds or hybrids. In this case, the White Fulani bull and the N'dama cow are two different breeds of cattle, and mating them would result in a crossbred calf. Inbreeding, on the other hand, involves mating closely related animals, such as siblings or parent and offspring, in order to maintain specific traits within a breed. Line breeding is a form of inbreeding that involves mating animals that are not as closely related, such as cousins, to maintain a certain bloodline or lineage. Outbreeding involves mating animals that are not closely related to each other in order to introduce new genetic material into a breeding program. In summary, the mating of a White Fulani bull and an N'dama cow would be termed as crossbreeding because it involves mating two different breeds of cattle. It is different from inbreeding, line breeding, and outbreeding, which involve different types of mating strategies with animals of the same or different breeds.

Awọn alaye Idahun
The farmer obtained a loan of #250,000 at a simple interest rate of 8% per annum to be paid in two years. Simple interest is calculated as a percentage of the principal amount and does not take into account the accumulated interest. The formula for calculating simple interest is: Simple Interest = (Principal x Rate x Time) / 100 Where: - Principal is the amount of the loan - Rate is the annual interest rate - Time is the duration of the loan in years In this case, the principal is #250,000, the rate is 8%, and the time is 2 years. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: Simple Interest = (250,000 x 8 x 2) / 100 Simple Interest = 40,000 Therefore, the interest that the farmer will pay on the loan is #40,000.

Awọn alaye Idahun
Viral diseases in crops are caused by viruses and can lead to significant yield losses. The most effective way to control viral diseases in crops is to prevent the viruses from infecting the crops. This can be achieved by planting resistant varieties that are not susceptible to the viruses. Resistant varieties have genes that make them immune to the viruses, so they do not get infected even when exposed to the viruses. Therefore, planting resistant varieties is the most effective way to control viral diseases in crops. Other methods like vector control, spraying insecticides, and sterilizing farm equipment are aimed at controlling the vectors or agents that spread the viruses, but they may not be as effective as planting resistant varieties.

Awọn alaye Idahun
Crops that are primarily grown to provide food for farm animals are known as forages. Forages include grasses, legumes, and other plants that are grown specifically for their ability to provide nutrition to grazing animals like cows, sheep, and goats. Forages are important because they are a good source of protein and other nutrients that are necessary for the growth and health of animals. They can be grown as pasture or as hay, silage, or other forms of preserved forage that can be fed to animals during times when fresh forage is not available. Grasses, in particular, are important forages because they are highly digestible and can be grown in a wide range of environments. Legumes are also important forages because they have the ability to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere, which can reduce the need for nitrogen fertilizers. Weeds, on the other hand, are plants that grow where they are not wanted, and are generally not grown intentionally as forages. While some weeds may be edible and may provide nutrition to grazing animals, they are not typically grown specifically for that purpose. Therefore, forages are crops that are grown specifically to provide food for farm animals, and include grasses, legumes, and other plants that are highly nutritious and digestible.

Awọn alaye Idahun
The extra oyster shell meal supplied to breeding hens aids in hardening eggshells. Oyster shells are an excellent source of calcium, which is an essential mineral needed for the formation of strong and healthy eggshells. Breeding hens require a higher intake of calcium than non-breeding hens, as they are producing more eggs. Feeding them with oyster shell meal, which is made up of crushed shells, helps to supplement their diet with calcium and meet their nutritional needs. When hens do not get enough calcium, their body will start to use calcium from their bones to form eggshells. This can lead to weaker bones and increased risk of bone fractures, as well as soft or thin eggshells that are prone to breakage. Therefore, providing extra oyster shell meal to breeding hens can help to prevent the risk of calcium deficiency and ensure that they lay strong and healthy eggs with hard eggshells. The correct answer to the question is: The extra oyster shell meal supplied to breeding hens aids in hardening eggshells.

The system in which a farmer uses a piece of land for a period and then abandons it for another land is called shifting cultivation. This system involves clearing a piece of land, planting crops on it for a few years until the soil fertility declines, and then abandoning it to allow the land to regenerate naturally. The farmer then moves on to a new piece of land and repeats the process. This system is often used in areas with poor soil fertility and limited access to fertilizers, as it allows the farmer to continue to produce crops without exhausting the land completely. However, shifting cultivation can lead to soil erosion and loss of biodiversity if not managed properly.
