Good nutrition is important, and it provides the essential basis for optimum
productivity in cattle-breeding operations. Despite this, nutritional expertise has not been a
traditional strength of many food-animal veterinarians.
Throughout the world, beef-breeding operations are generally range or pasture based.
These operations are conducted in diverse environments, with great variation in nutritional
management. In many countries, the area of pasture or rangeland requires to maintain a cow–
calf unit, and it may vary from 0.5 to 1 ha (1 or 2 acres) in intensive high-rainfall regions to
many square kilometers in remote dry-land areas. However, in general, the land area or
amount of pasture necessary for production is related to local economic realities. This, in
turn, is related to levels of managerial and resource inputs that differ markedly between
regions, markets, and enterprises. Notwithstanding this variation, there are a number of
principles of good nutritional management that can be universally applied to cattle-breeding
operations.
Regardless of region, an important consideration is that of maintaining or improving
production (increasing income) while reducing costs per unit of production. In simple terms,
financial return from a beef-breeding operation is a function of number of calves, their
weaning weight, and price. On the cost side is the cost of maintaining the breeding females,
and this varies considerably between farms, both within and between regions. Although it can
be influenced, the price received is generally not significantly controlled by the farm
business. However, both the number of calves born and their weaning weights are strongly
influenced by an appropriate management calendar that matches nutritional demand with the
supply of pasture. For example, good nutritional management helps to ensure that as many
females as possible are cycling at the start of the breeding season. This, combined with good
bull management, helps to ensure that calves are born early and that they are older and
heavier at weaning than later-born calves.
In general, nutrition is the most important limiting factor of beef-breeding
performance, and an understanding of the principles underlying the nutritional management
of breeding females is essential. Effective monitoring does not necessarily require a higher
degree in nutrition, although it should include sufficient knowledge and wisdom to know
when additional expertise is needed.
PART A: Answer the following questions based on the text.
Explicit: Factual informative
1. What is the main idea of paragraph 2 ?
Answer : Throughout the world, beef-breeding operations are generally range or
pasture based. These operations are conducted in diverse environments, with great
variation in nutritional management.
Explicit: Factual exploratory
2. Mention the areas that cover the beef-breeding operations!
Answer : the area that includes cattle farming operations i.e. pasture and land area can
vary from 0.5 to 1 ha (1 or 2 hectares) in areas with high rainfall intensity to several
square kilometers in remote dryland areas
3. What is the relation of beef-breeding production to economics in local community ?
Answer : The land area or amount of pasture necessary for production is related to local
economic realities. This is related to levels of managerial and resource inputs that differ
markedly between regions, markets, and enterprises.
Implicit/ Implied
4. Why is it important to increase the quality of nutrition in beef-breeding?
Answer : Nutrition is the most important limiting factor of beef-breeding performance . it
provides the essential basis for optimum productivity in cattle-breeding operations.
5. What factor do you think affects the price of beef-breeding operation?
Answer : Function of number of calves, their weaning weight, price, the cost of
maintaining the breeding females. Good nutrition, regions, markets and companies
