Abstract

For farm animals to be productive (milk, eggs, meat, etc.), it is important that they receive suitable food in sufficient quantities. If farm feed production is limited (as is usually the case), it may be economically feasible to keep fewer animals but provide them with enough food. The appropriate amount and composition of feed will, of course, depend on the type of animal as well as its primary use (eg chicken for meat or eggs, cattle for milk, meat or draft power, etc.). For example, in milk production, milk producing cows should be given fresh grass and possibly other feeds with adequate protein content. On the same diet, draft animals were rapidly depleted. A balanced diet will allow the animal to remain healthy and productive. Whether a farm animal is receiving the proper amount and type of food can usually be seen by the sheen of its coat or feathers. For ruminants, most of the feed should be roughage (grass, leaves, etc.). If concentrates or additives are used (eg agricultural by-products and waste), they must not contain growth promoters or other synthetic substances. Instead of buying expensive concentrates, there are plenty of protein-rich legumes that can be grown on the farm as cover crops, hedges, or trees. If the mineral content of the available feed is insufficient to meet the needs of the animal, mineral salt bricks or similar feed additives may be used, as long as they do not contain synthetic additives.
