livestock?
2. How do the farm owners manage the feeding of the different livestock?
Reading Resources
Feed is any materials which are processed, semi-processed or raw, intended to be
fed directly to farm animals. In this way, they meet nutrient requirements to
maintain life, promote growth, production and reproduction.
Feed additive refers to an ingredient/s added to the basic mixed feed. It is usually
used in micro-quantities and requires careful handling and mixing. It has no
nutritive value but adds quality and efficacy.
Feed ingredient is a component part of mixture making up a feed, has or ha no
nutritional value in the animal’s diet. E.g. plant, animal or aquatic ingredient, or
organic or inorganic substances.
Feed supplement is a feed ingredients or mixture of feed ingredients to supply
deficiencies in a ration or improve the nutritive balance or performance of the total
mixture.
The commonly used feed ingredients that are good sources of energy include
banana meal (peeled or unpeeled), barley (hulled), cassava (peeled or unpeeled),
corn, oats, rice (middling paddy) sorghum, cane sugar, and wheat. The good
sources of protein are: blood meal/hemoglobin powder, egg (powder, whole, spray
dried), fish meal (imported and local), meat and bone meal, prok/porcine meal,
hydrolyzed feather meal, shrimp meal, squid meal, black bean, canola meal,
Leucaena leaf meal (ipil-ipil), rapeseed meal, soybean, cowpea, feed peas, green peas,
lupins, maple peas, mung bean, pigeon pea (kadyos), rice bean, safflower seed,
9
sunflower seeds, vetch seeds, white/yellow peas, guar meal. Non-protein nitrogen
sources include urea, bakery by-products, cassava residue, dried spent Brewer’s
grain, dried Brewer’s yeast, corn bran, corn germ meal, corn gluten feed, dried
distillers grains with solubles, sugarcane molasses, palm kernel meal, rice bran (D1
or D2), scrap noodles, soya hulls, wheat gluten, wheat pollard. Dairy products
include buttermilk powder, lactose powder, skimmed milk powder, whey powder,
whole milk powder. Fats and oils include acidulated oil, coconut oil, palm kernel
oil, palm oil, palm olein, soybean oil, tallow, used cooking oil. Feed supplements
and additives having calcium and phosphorus content are bone meal dicalcium
phosphate, monodicalcium phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, tricalcium
phosphate. Feed supplements containing calcium include limestone, oyster shell.
Feed supplements containing sodium and chlorine are salt, iodized salt, sodium
bicarbonate. Amino acid supplements are DI-methionine, methionine hydroxyl
analogue (MHA), L-lysine HCl, lysine sulfate, L-thereonine, L-tryptophan, L-valine.
Feed additives include acidifying agents, anti-caking agents, anti-molds,
antioxidants, dextrose anhydrous, dextrose anhydrous, enzymes, flavoring
sweeteners, hormones, immune enhancers, nutritional metabolites, pellet binders,
pigmenters, prebiorics, probiotics, surfactants, mycotoxin binders.
Safety precautionary measures should be done in handling feeds, feed ingredients,
and feed additives to avoid biological and chemical hazards.
To make attractive profit and product good meat, consider the following
variables: age, sex, breed, and health condition of farm animals.
Feeding Facilities for Goats/Sheep
Feeding troughs should be trapezoidal or semi-
cylindrical. It should have a dept of 180mm-250
mm x 300mm. It shall be raised off the ground at
least 150mm to keep the animals. Hay

Water Facility
For open tank drinking system, 300 mm space is required for each 15-25 heads.
For automatic watering system, 1 bowl or nipple shall be provided for every 50
heads. The watering devices shall be situated where water is easily drained. For
free range, apron around the waterers shall be paved or packed with gravel at least
750mm width.
Milking Area shall be separated from where the goats
are kept and shall be provided with milking stall. The
milking stand is shown in the illustration.
Figure 3. Milking stand

Suggested flushing rations for ewe include good

mixed of pasture of legumes and grasses, a grass pasture and 150g of wheat bran
per head per day, grass pasture and 250g of grains and 450g of oil cakes, legume
hay full fed and 100g of wheat bran and 150-200g of grain, and green fodder at
10% of body weight
and 150-200g of concentrate per head per day.
Suggested flushing ration for early and mid-pregnancy ewe include: graze on a
good pasture, 1-2kg sorghum silage and legume hay of ½ to 1kg head per day. Add
libitum supply of maize and 50g of oil cakes per head per day. Grazing on stubbles
and harvested fields supplemented with 100g of oil cakes per head
per day.
Feeding rams for breeding. Rams in normal condition require some additional
nutrients during the breeding season. An over-fat ram needs thinning before the
breeding season. Allow rams to graze with the ewes to allow them to get same
rations as the ewes. If separate feeding, it may be given 300-500g of concentrate
mixture consisting of three parts of oats or barley, one part maize and one part
wheat per day.
Feeding of breeding does. If the availability of pasture is good, there is no need
to supplement concentrate mixture. In poor grazing condition animals may be
supplemented with concentrate mixture at 150-350g of concentrate per animal per
day. The digestible crude protein level of concentrate mixture used in the adult is
12%.

11
 Feeding management can be extensive grazing, rotational grazing method, and
semi-intensive method. Extensive grazing involves letting sheep or goat in the
entire pasture and leaving them there for the whole season. Rotational grazing
method is done when pasture land is divided by temporary fences into several
sections. The animals are moved from one section to another section. Once the
entire pasture is grazed, the first section will have sufficient grass cover to provide
second grazing. This method controls parasitic infestations to a great extent. It also
provides good quality of fodder. Further, this system lets lambs graze first and
brings in ewes to finish up the feed left by the lambs. Semi-intensive combines
extensive and intensive system due to limited grazing. It involves extensive
management but of controlled grazing. It consists of stall feeding, shelter at night
under shed and 3-5 hours daily grazing and
browsing on pasture and range.

Feeding dairy cow. Feeding management plays a crucial role in farm economy
because feed alone constitutes 60% of the production cost of milk. The nutrient
requirement should be determined for maintenance as well as for milk production
to meet the fat percentage in milk and gestation. Thus, it needs computation. Dry
matter from roughage should not exceed 2% of cow’s live weight not should it be
less than 1%. Recommended nutrient inclusions: major minerals include
phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and chlorine; micro-minerals
include iron, copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, selenium,
thyroid, fluorine and vitamins include Vitamin A, D, E, K, and C.

Pig Feeding Management

Swine are monogastric animals. Part of the protein diet of pigs come from animal
source. They should be fed on a regular basis. Fresh feed should be put only after
removal of the previous feed from the feed trough. They require 4-8kg will per day.
All categories of pigs can be given small quantity of fodder or they may be pastured
to graze grasses. Ad libitum feeding may be practice for weaned
pigs.

Feeding of boars. A breeding board requires 2-2.5kg concentrate per 100 kg weight.
Greens should be provided if they raised indoor. Year-round pasture is excellent if
it could provide physical exercise and valuable nutrients.
Feeding of female. The increased needs are intended for proteins, vitamins, and
minerals. They gain 30-35 kg and gilts 40-45kg during pregnancy. There should be
regulation of feed. Individual feeding is required. Flushing is a practice of giving
extra feed to sows and gilts from 1-2 weeks prior to mating and returns
to normal feeding after mating.
Feeding of farrowing sow and litter. Feed them lightly with bulky laxative feed.
Bring the sow to full feeding in 10 days. Greens should be provided. Feed allowance
is 2.5-3kg/100 kg body weight at rate of 0.2kg per piglet with the sow. The piglets
may be provided with special nourishing diet called creep feed. Creep feeding is a
self-feeding concentrate to piglets. This should be given when they are two weeks
old. Feeding of growing and finishing pigs. They must be fed on a regular basis
twice to thrice a day. As fattening progresses, protein percent in ration may be
decreased. This period may be considered from weaning 910kg to the
slaughterhouse weight of 90-100kg. Orphan pigs. Piglets should be immediately
shifted to a foster mother when a sow dies or fails to produce milk
or does not claim her pigs.

3. 3. Lesson Activity
Consulting an Agri Expert: The students will conduct an interview with an expert
(farm owner, agricultural engineer, veterinarian, farm laborer and other community
resources). The students will determine the feeding management of livestock in a
certain farm. After which, they will create a (video) presentation on the results of
their interview. The (video) presentation should consist of the following: feeding
management of the expert, sample ration or food formulation, materials, and photos
of the interviewee and interviewers.
