Q

three main reasons why feedlot fattening operation is important to the livestock industry of the Philippines?

A
  1. provides farmer extra income
  2. gives him year-round work and allow the use of cheap, plentiful farm by-products such as corn stovers, hay, silage, rice straw, copra meal, rice bran and sugarcane top w/c might otherwise wasted
  3. helps meet the urgent demand for high-protein foods in filipino diet

Q

backyard cattle raising is characterized by:

A
  1. 1 or 2 heads of either fattening or breeding cattle is raised on farmer’s spare time
  2. tethers animal to graze, then supplements this w/ farm wastes like rice straw or corn stovers/stalks
  3. practice of soiling and supplementing w/ ipil ipil as a source of protein, and rice bran, corn bran, or cops meal at 1-2 kg/ animal
  4. in batangas, force feeding (supa or supak) of feed mixture is a common practice among backyard cattle raisers
