LIVESTOCK RATIONS

Animal ration refers to the specific combination and quantity of feed ingredients provided to animals to meet their nutritional requirements for growth, maintenance, reproduction, and other physiological functions.

Types of rations

The following are types of rationsfor livestock:

  1. Balanced ration: A diet that contains all the essential nutrients in the correct proportions to meet the animal's specific needs for growth, maintenance, reproduction, and overall health.
  2. Maintenance ration: A diet formulated to maintain the animal's body weight and condition without promoting growth or additional production. It typically provides the necessary nutrients to support basic metabolic functions and sustain the animal's current state.
  3. Production ration: A diet designed to support specific production goals, such as milk production in dairy cows, egg production in poultry, or weight gain in meat animals. This ration is formulated to provide optimal levels of nutrients to support increased production while maintaining overall health and performance.
