Try a few questions
- Practice question 1
Feeding frequency for young or high-producing animals is mainly adjusted to
- A.match exactly the feeding schedule of mature, low-producing animals
- B.eliminate the need for feeding more than once a month
- C.meet their higher relative nutritional demands compared to mature animals
- D.reduce their nutrient intake below maintenance level
Show the answer
C. meet their higher relative nutritional demands compared to mature animals
Growing or highly productive animals often need more frequent feeding to meet demand.
- Practice question 2
B-complex vitamins in animal nutrition mainly support
- A.various metabolic processes, including energy release from feed
- B.the structural strength of bones exclusively
- C.the animal's primary source of dietary energy
- D.the animal's ability to reproduce exclusively
Show the answer
A. various metabolic processes, including energy release from feed
B vitamins are broadly involved in the body's metabolic energy processes.
- Practice question 3
A vitamin A deficiency in poultry mainly can cause
- A.poor growth and eye problems
- B.improved growth and vision
- C.stronger eggshell formation
- D.increased resistance to all disease
Show the answer
A. poor growth and eye problems
Vitamin A deficiency commonly harms growth and eye health in birds.
