PRACTICAL ON FORMULATION OF LIVESTOCK RATION
Practical Session: Formulation of Livestock Ration
Objective:
The objective of this practical session is to provide students with hands-on experience in formulating rations for pigs, rabbits, sheep, and goats, and building an album showcasing different feedstuff used for formulation of feeds for each species.
Materials Needed:
Procedure:
- Provide an overview of the importance of balanced nutrition in livestock production and the role of proper feed formulation.
- Explain the objectives and structure of the practical session.
