- Heat period: The period (oestrus) during which the female animal is sexually receptive and ready to accept the male for mating.
- Candling: Passing an egg over or before a source of light in a dark room to examine its internal quality, fertility or stage of development.
(b) Maintenance ration and production ration distinguished
| Maintenance ration | Production ration |
|---|---|
| The feed given to keep an animal alive and healthy, with no gain or loss in weight and no production. | The extra feed given, in addition to the maintenance ration, to enable the animal to produce milk, eggs, meat, work or offspring. |
(c) Three effects of malnutrition on farm animals
- It causes retarded or stunted growth.
- It lowers productivity (less milk, eggs and meat) and causes poor reproduction.
- It makes animals weak and more susceptible to diseases, and may cause death.
(d) Five effects of deforestation
- It leads to soil erosion.
- It causes loss of soil fertility.
- It can lead to desertification.
