What is the average yield of meat per acre?
The average yeild of meat per acre varies greatly depending on how it is raised. Animals raised on factory farms, where they are given little room to move about, produce much more meat per acre than animals raised on farms where they are not crowded in together and are able to roam free in fields. Free range meat is also free of hormones and antibiotics that are given to factory farmed animals, which most likely not only makes them taste better, but also makes them healthier.

True. No matter what animal you are talking about, they all started as an egg. Even us humans started as an egg.
What are the advantages of Arable Farming?
Before knowing the advantages of extensive farming one has to know what it means. Extensive farming is using small inputs of fertilizer, labor and capital relative to the amount of land being farmed. Most of this type of farming is called "ranching." It is not a money-making or lucrative type of farming by any means (no type of farming is, no matter if it's extensive or intensive), but some advantages of this type of farming is being able to make use of native rangeland to raise livestock on. This type of ranching or "farming" denotes the use of cattle with little labour, no fertilizer and little capital to raise them. Other advantages include saving money because of the lower inputs required in comparison with intensive farming, and being able to spend time and energy on other things (and no need to hire additional labour) besides farming due to the lower labour requirements.

This is calculated as ACT (average client transaction); most clinics strive for this to be above $115. However, this is an average - some pets only need $50 worth of veterinary care in one visit (3 year old dog for a distemper vaccine and yearly exam, for instance) while other pets may need several hundred dollars worth of veterinary care in a visit (10 year old diabetic Yorkie being prepared for bladder stone surgery, for instance).

Most adipose tissue in animals is classified as saturated fat, meaning the fatty acid chains have no double bonds in them.
What website sells dwarf bunnies?
I certainly hope there aren't websites that sell rabbits. Rabbits are intelligent creatures that require personal care and attention. It would be cruel to submit a rabbit to the conditions of being sent through the mail.
Please consider adopting a rabbit from a rescue or sanctuary as there is a severe rabbit overpopulation problem and buying from breeders or pet stores only worsens the issue.
Stillwater Llama & Alpaca Minerals Vitamins Salt Feed This is the formula that Llama and Alpacas will eat. ... top of the minerals in the beginning just so they know where they can find salt when they need it.
Most vitamins and minerals for llamas are created from salt and some carbon based "atophlotes" metaphysically, llamas can consume salt and it is a good addition to a meal (if included in a carbon based mineral) for consumtion in eroplegys.
Plants get nitrogen and phosphorous from the soil. If not replenished by decomposing biomass, these nutrients must be replenished via fertilizer application to insure proper plant growth.
Plants get their carbon from the air (CO2) so adding carbon to the soil wouldn't help plants much.
What farm animal you would not pet?
Depends who you're asking it to. Everybody has their dislikes and likes of a specific farm animal, so it's hard to generalize what farm animal everybody wouldn't to pet. But a boar (an intact male pig) would be one that should NOT be petted because of the boar "perfume" they wear on their hides to attract females, and when you get that on your hands when scratching the back of a boar, it'll take a long time for that ugly smell to get off, even if you wear perfume or lotion to try to hide it!!
