Animal Cloning offers product uniformity saving endangered species research purposes (identical animals are better for research studies) BST (Bovine somatotropin) increases milk production produced at a relatively low cost using gene splicing Artificial Insemination (AI) increases herd diversity allows a farmer to use genes from other farms without hauling animals Embryo Transfer one female can produce many calves in a year superior female can be fertilized by genetics from a superior male Breeds On each picture, label the breed represented. hereford holstein jersey angus What are the 3 types of swine operations? Fill in the blanks. 90% of commercially raised turkeys are the broad-breastedwhite.In the beef industry, American breeds were crossed with exotic breeds (like Brahman) to increase heattolerance, and diseaseresistance.Duroc, hampshire, and yorkshireare the most popular breeds of swine in the U.S.Uses for equine include show, racing, and recreation.Dissolved Oxygen (DO) levels need to be at least 3ppm in order for fish to live in aquaculture systems. The range is 0-10ppm.Aeratorscan be used to improve DO levels.Water quality must be monitoredto insure that the fish are not stressed.Roll over- condition where a pond’s water quality suddenly changes.Recirculatingtanks - through a biological purifier and return it to the tank. Watch the video for comparison of monogastric animals to ruminant animals. Fill in the blanks for the information about the poultry digestive system. Poultry has no true stomachs.They can only store small amounts of food.No teeth, therefore food is swallowed whole, stored in the crop, and passed on to the gizzard where it is ground up.Rations must be high in food value - very efficient at converting feed.

Helps all body functions and prevent many livestock diseases.
