What products come from Poultry animals?
Poultry is the collective term for domesticated birds, and includes chickens, turkeys, geese, duck, squabs and pea fowl.
The major product is poultry muscle for human consumption (such as chicken wings, turkey breast, deli meat, etc.). However, the rest of the bird is put into rendering (high pressure cooking to break down the proteins) and can be used for just about anything, including industrial lubricants.

How does a farmer control endoparasites in a farm animal?
Preventing endoparasite infestations can be done by deworming at home regularly, at least every three months. Puppies and kittens should be dewormed every three weeks until they are 6months old after which deworming is done after every 3 months. As well as a follow-up with your veterinarian for examinations and repeated fecal (stool) tests as needed.
Because they can. It's a form of vocalization that tells other animals (other cattle, humans, etc.) whether they are looking for a lost friend or calf, hungry, ready for battle, in pain, dying, in heat and looking for a mate, etc.
But really, in real life, cows don't make a "moo" noise. It's more of a "mmmrraaww" noise. The description of the noise a cow makes in the English language is the best representation in as few letters as possible that we can make.
What farm animals GIVE US FOOD?
Cows can give us milk, cheese, and other diary products,
Sheep can give us meat such as lamb chops, also there wool can be used to make wooly jumpers. Chickens can give us eggs.Also pigs give us bacon, and sausages.
Our mini pigs are the smallest in Australia. Full grown (@2 years) are about 40 cm (16") at the sholder. about 30kg(60lbs)
These are NOT Potbelly, they are not legal in Australia.
Royal Danties may very well be the smallest in America Thimble is the smallest pig in the world! She is a Thimble pig.
There is no such thing as a male cow. The masculine of cow is bull, and they don't have an udder.
Cows hooves like pigs have been adapted so that they can walk through very muddy and slippery terrain for example in fields if their hooves were flat then they would fall over and would not be able to withstand rain this is also why we put horse shoes on horses, so that they can safely walk, trot, gallop or run threw many rocky/bumpy/slippery etc terrains
How often are rabbits in heat?
Female rabbits are seldom out of heat in warm months. In the winter it is harder to catch them when they are in heat. It is a natural survival instinct carried over from wild ancestor's. Wild bunnies only breed in the months when they are sure they can raise babies before the food gets scarce. Domestic females are only out of heat 2 or 3 days a month.
Anything that's along-side the road they're driving down. All they have to do is turn the steering wheel sharply when they are beside whatever it is and they will turn into it.
How can you tell if the two male geanie pigs are getting along?
Yes, you can tell if they fight a lot. They will try to chase the other away. They can hurt each other if they fight.
Any activity that leads to erosion is an improper farming practice, such as tilling straight downhill, pulverizing dirt clods, not planting windrows.
Can a male pot belly pigs be born without testicles?
I do not know the answer to this for sure, however, I recently took our 7 week old male pot belly pig to be neutered, and the vet cut where the testicles should be...and found none. She then cut higher and again found none what-so-ever. She stated that he was either born without both testicles (rare - less than 1% born without both testicles), or that they are in his abdomen. She then advised to keep an eye on him for another month and see if any testicles descend or if he becomes aggressive and gets that musky male odor that intact boars get. If so, we are to take him back and if no testicles have descended, then she will have to open his abdomen and look around in there to see if that is where they are. If she does not find the testicles there, then it will mean that he was born without both testicles. I would love to have a clear answer from someone "in the know" on this however. Thanks
