Question

Name two types of animal feed and write their functions.

Answer 1

Animal feed:

1. Feed, sometimes known as animal feed, is food produced specifically for poultry and cattle.
2. In order to provide extremely nutritious meals that both sustain the health of the animals and improve the quality of such end products as meat, milk, or eggs, modern feeds are made by carefully choosing and combining components.

Roughage

1. Fiber-rich plants such as cowpea, berseem, and others. It's a fibrous, gritty material with poor nutritional content. Green fodder, hay, berseem, cowpea, bajra, maize, and other roughage sources are available to the animals.
2. Roughage makes up the majority of animal feed. It gives animals glucose and its fibers keep the digestive system in check.

Concentrates

1. These are nutrient-dense foods that are low in fiber, such as oats and maize.
2. It has a low fiber content but a high protein and other nutritional content. Cotton seeds, oil seeds, maize, oat, grain, cakes, and molasses are among the items included. Prove that animals have enough protein, fat, and minerals.
