ANIMAL

PRODUCTION
TOPICS:
1. Ideal Site for Animal Production
2. Fixtures and Equipment for
Animal Production
3. Feeds and Feeding Farm Animals
 ANIMAL PRODUCTION
Branch of agriculture that focuses on the breeding,
care, and management of domesticated animals for
various purposes, including food production, fiber
production, and companionship. It involves the
systematic and sustainable rearing of animals to
obtain products such as meat, milk, eggs, wool,
leather, and other byproducts, as well as providing
services such as transportation and work.

SELECTING a SITE ”
 LOCATION
 Location of the site plays
a crucial role in animal
production. Proper site
should be selected to
minimize visual contact
with neighbors and traffic
and to separate odor-
producing facilities from
neighbors.
LAND AVAILABILITY

 Sufficient land availability

is essential for animal
production activities. The
size of the land should be
appropriate for the intended
scale of production and
allow for future expansion.
 WATER AND AIR
QUALITY
 Clean water and good air
quality are critical for
healthy animal production.
The site should have
access to a reliable water
source and minimize the
risk of pollutant
contamination.
 ZONING
AND REGULATIONS

 Compliance with zoning and

regulatory requirements is
necessary to ensure the site is
suitable for animal production.
Understanding and adhering to
local regulations is crucial for
successful operations.
8. Agricultural Zone (AGZ) — an area within a City
intended for the cultivation of the soil, planting of
crops, growing of trees, raising of livestock, poultry,
fish or aquaculture production, including the
harvesting of such farm products, and other farm
activities and practices performed in conjunction with
such farming operations... (AFMA)
“ INFRACTRACTURE
and
FACILITIES ”
 HOUSING
 Animal housing should be
designed to provide
comfort, ventilation, and
sufficient space for the
animals. Adequate housing
facilities contribute to the
overall well-being and
productivity of the
animals.
Waste Management
 Effective waste
management systems are
crucial for animal
production sites. Proper
disposal of animal waste
reduces environmental
pollution and contributes
to sustainable practices.
Healthcare and Veterinary
Services
 Access to healthcare and
veterinary services is
necessary to ensure the well-
being and disease prevention
of the animals. The site
should be in close proximity
to veterinary clinics and
have provisions for regular
health check-ups.
“AVAILABILITY
of
RESOURCES”
 Feed and Fodder
Sufficient availability of
quality feed and fodder
is essential for animal
production. The site
should have access to
reliable sources of feed
to meet the nutritional
requirements of the
animals.
 Water and Electricity
A constant and reliable supply of water and
electricity is necessary for animal production.
The site should have adequate infrastructure to
ensure uninterrupted access to these resources.
“ RISK FACTORS
and
MITIGATION ”
 Natural Disasters
Such as floods and storms can disrupt
animal production. Implementing
disaster preparedness plans and
building resilient infrastructure can
minimize the impact of such events.
 Disease Outbreaks
Pose a significant risk to animal
production. Implementing biosecurity
measures, regular health monitoring, and
vaccination programs can mitigate the
risk of disease outbreaks.
 Market Volatility
Price fluctuations can impact the
profitability of animal production.
Diversifying the product range and
building strong market connections can
help mitigate the risks associated with
market uncertainty.
 Environmental Impact
Animal production can have
environmental impacts. Implementing
sustainable practices, such as proper
waste management and efficient resource
utilization, can minimize the negative
environmental effects.
 CONCLUSION
Key Considerations
Considering factors like climate,
environmental requirements, and
availability of resources is crucial to
ensure optimal conditions for animal
production sites.
 “FIXTURES and
EQUIPMENT for ANIMAL
PRODUCTION”
FOR POULTRY
DR0PPING BOARD
 These fixtures
should be provided
in the laying house
to facilitate
collection of
manure .
 NEST
 Hens or layers lay
their eggs in a nest ,
a nest could be either
open or close. The
nest should be build
on a partition or end
walls.
 PERCHES
 These are horizontal
poles where birds can
sit and rest especially
during night time.
Sufficient perches
should be contracted to
prevent the birds from
crowding at night.
FEEDING TROUGHS
 These should be
constructed so as to keep
the hens from scratching
the feeds and wasting it
especially when the
birds are laying eggs
 DRINKING
TROUGHS
 Drinking jars should be
large and sufficient
enough to supply the
water needs of the birds
for the whole day.
 FEED BINS
 These are containers
where feeds are stored for
future use. Feeds can also
be kept in petroleum cans
which are cheap, rat
proof, and if painted will
last longer.
 INCUBATOR
 A device for
maintaining the eggs
of birds to allow
them to hatch
 BROODER
 Heated container that can
have its temperature
controlled in at least one
area. Use to confine
chicks with their feed and
water until they are 2
weeks old and ready to go
outside.
FOR SWINE
 BREEDING CRATE
 Used when breeding gilt to a
large boar or a large sow to a
junior boar. The construction
of the breeding crate should
be durable enough to support
the additional weight of a
boar. the gilt or sow in heat
is confined inside the crate
before the boar is allowed to
enter for mating.
 FARROWING CRATE
or
STALL
 Due to its limited space, this
equipment minimizes the
movement of the sow and
reduces the possibility of
death of piglets due to
crushing.
 WATER SYSTEM
 Pressurized water system
with pipes extending to the
hog houses is the most
desirable type .Minimum
pressure of 5 kg per sq cm
and 500 gallons an hour is
necessary , this will
eliminate labor in fetching
water
SHIPPING CRATE
 Handy piece of
equipment is ideal to use
when transporting pigs.
 CASTRATION RACK
 V-shaped equipment used
during castration , piglets are
laid down with its back on
the rack
 handy piece of equipment is
ideal to use when
transporting pigs.
 FEED CART
 Used to transport feeds
during feeding time- can
accommodate 100 kg of
feed
 SELF- FEEDERS
 Come in various types but
the built- in concrete feeder
is preferred . A self- feeder
should be designed and
constructed so that feed
wastage is minimized and
the rate of flow of the feed
can be regulated.
 WATERERS
Pig will consume 2.0 to 2.5 pounds of
water per kg of dry feed. Automatic
waterers are advantages. If the nozzle
type waterers are used , they must be
placed 24 to 30 inches above the floor
for sows and growing pigs, one
automatic cup or nozzle for each pig
pen is normally sufficient to supply the
water needs of the animals. Waterers
should not be places based the self-
feede of feeding trough. This practice
will keep the feeding area dry and clean
 STOCK TRAILER
 Stock trailer enclosed at
the bottom, but has
openings at
approximately the eye
level of the animals to
allow ventilation
PICKUP TRUCK
 light motor
vehicle with an
open-top rear
cargo area

reproduction and productivity

Prevention of diseases – helps prevent diseases and

deficiencies that can result from malnutrition, ensuring the
overall well- being of farm animals

Enhanced performance- right balance of nutrients, proper

feeding enhanced the performance of farm animals, leading to
increased milk production, egg yield, meat quality or wool
output
 Nutritional needs of farm animals

Macronutrients – carbohydrates, proteins and fats in adequate

quantities for energy production, building tissues and maintaining
bodily functions

Micronutrients – vitamins and minerals are essential for various

physiological processes, including the proper functioning of the
immune system, bone development and enzyme activity.

Water – crucial nutrient for farm animals, supporting digestion,

nutrient absorption, temperature regulation, and overall hydration

Roughage and forage – to maintain good rumen health and proper

digestion
