Farm Animals

This will vary depending on the exact animal - below are some of the more common farm animals.

Horse: foal (gender neutral), filly (female), colt (male)

Cow: calf (gender neutral), heifer (female), bull calf (male)

Pig: piglet (gender neutral), gilt (female)

Sheep: lamb (gender neutral)

Goat: kid (gender neutral)

Chicken/Turkey: chick (gender neutral)

Cat: kitten (gender neutral)

Dog: puppy (gender neutral)

While pigs, like all mammals, do produce milk, it is not typically consumed by humans.

Not only are they a source of food in meat and milk, but they are also a sign of wealth in the community. The more cattle and wives a Masai man has, the wealthier he is.

The dog would be a host to the tick.

if your guinea pig is new to your family, then maybe she is just a little bit wary of you. You need to give your piggie time to settle in. If your guinea pig has been with you for a while, and doesnt normally mind being scratched anywhere else, then there are two posibilities:

1. that just might be a place she doesnt like being scartched

or

2.she/he may feel uncomfertable with you scratching her there. Check to see if your piggie looks like she is in pain, if so, get her checked out by a vet.

i hope this has been a help ^^

Yes, you can. Many treat companies add honey to sweeten their products and stick nuts, oats etc. together. Honey is also naturally rich in antioxidants that are good for horses. It can help for horses with pollen allergies. Unlike dogs and cats botulism is not as much of a worry when feeding honey to horses although it should still not be fed in large quantities.

Both. Some horses like pellets, some like sweet feed. It is up to you and your horse to decide which feed he likes and which feed provides his nutrient requirements while keeping your pocketbook happy.

A dam is a mother of a particular offspring. For instance, instead of saying "the calf's mother" farmers and producers would say "the calf's dam" or "the dam of the stallion" or bull or boar or mare or whatever.

Sheeps are herbivorous and they eat gras, fallen green leaves etc..

its better not to feed your horse cereal, sticking with hay- grass and a grain meant for horses will help him stay healthy.

First, run as fast as you can for the nearest barrier - a truck, a tree, a fence, whatever. Once a cow decides to actually charge you, it means business and will attack until you are perceived to no longer be a threat.

If the nearest barrier is too far to make it before the cow catches up to you (they can gallop faster than most humans can run), run in zig-zags, changing direction every 50 yards or so. Cows are faster, but they have a harder time changing direction and maintaining speed.

Third, learn from your mistake - cows typically don't charge without a reason. Make sure you don't come between a cow and her calf, don't tease or irritate the cows and don't back them into a corner and frighten them.

The longevity of a meat rabbits life is influenced by many things.

Factors such as having proper housing, living in clean conditions, having the appropriate amount of proper feed as well as having fresh water always available all affect lifespan. Other factors include how aggressively the rabbit was bred, how well the rabbits weight was managed (overweight rabbits don't live as long) and if the rabbit was kept free of temps that are too hot. Cold is OK, but too hot can be fatal.

In general, a meat rabbit that is bred on a production schedule can be bred regularly starting from 3 months of age right up through about 3 years of age. Some might breed a bit longer, some will stop a bit sooner, but 3 years is the average breeding life. The rabbit can physically survive for several years beyond being retired (they can reach 7-8 years old), but since you asked specifically about meat rabbits, I'm giving you info on the breeding life.

Bucks can breed longer than does and can continue to sire litters until about the age of 5. Again, they can be kept as pets for a few years beyond that, but that is the end of their breeding life.

In the US, most dairy farms have cows for milking; a few also have goats. Goats milk can be helpful for people who can't tolerate milk from cows.

A dairy farm may also have herding dogs to help moving groups of cows from one location on the farm to another. Some dairy farms keep cats to help keep the barns free of rodents.

A dairy farm can also have many other types of animals not related to milk production. One of the more common types is keeping chickens for eggs to sell with the milk products.

Dogs have bones inside them (their skeleton) and dogs also like animal bones to chew on as part of their food. These bones are good for dogs but you should not feed a dog cooked chicken bones.

Animals played a much greater contribution to agriculture than many people today can ever fathom. It can be thought that animals were one of the reasons that agriculture even began, because they, for example, helped the increase in efficiency and effort in producing crops by providing labour where humans could not.

No

If your cow is in that condition, get the vet. The sphincter muscle of a cow should let nothing return back up the rectum.

In cattle: 400-600 gallons must pass through the udder to create one gallon of milk.

Yes, actually you can if you feel hard. The change in pigment and texure give a distinct difference in the feel of the coat when you run your hand across an appaloosa's spot.

The best way to clean a Horses hooves is to use a hoof pick and work from the outside in. Use the metal part of the pick to clean the dirt or gravel out from in the horse shoe, then work inward to the center of the hoof and clear the rocks and gravel or dirt out of there until you reach the frog. BE CAREFUL around the frog because it is the most sensitive area of the hoof. Clean around it with the metal part of the pick and then switch to the brush side. Now work your way over the frog with the brush and then over the center of the hoof and the horse shoe. Then I usually tilt the hoof pick and wedge the metal in a bit just a tad bit under the horse shoe (it should NOT be able to go very far in or else your horse needs to be shod) and then I go around the entire shoe which cleans the dirt from under it and makes the farrier have an easier job. Now you just need to clean the outside. Take the metal part of the pick and scrape the packed dirt off the horses hooves. Be careful not to let it scrape too much of the hoof. Then use the brush or a scrubber to brush all the extra dirt off the hoof to clean it all the way. Now you can do the optional step of hoof oil. This oil helps darken the hoof and moisten it a bit to keep it healthier. Do not do this every time you clean the horses hoof though. Good luck :D
