Test IV: Essay

1. Describe feeding in small ruminants.

Feeding in small ruminants depends on the age of the animal, the physiological
state of the animal (lactation or pregnancy), and the quantity of the roughage being
fed.

2. How will you feed breeding males?

When males are not in service, they should be maintained on good grazing or
crop residue adlib plus 1-2kg legume hay /animal /day.About a month to being
used for service, they should be placed on good grazing or crop residue plus 300gm
of concentrate mixture.

3. What is the importance of record keep keeping in small ruminants?

Record keeping is a necessary element of good livestock business management

in any ruminant farm. With no written records, farmers have to depend on their
memory while making decisions regarding their farm practices. But, memories
4. Differentiate grasses from legumes.

Grasses serves as main feed for ruminants while legumes provides better quality
feeds.

5. Why is high quality forage important in the production of small ruminants?

Profitable meat goat production can only be achieved by optimizing the use of
high quality forage and browse and the strategic use of expensive concentrate feeds.
