[HarisShahzad]

oh sorry i read the question wrong . just change wheat to rice and cut staple food. sorry :S

 

[HarisShahzad]

Lol yh .

People add to the list of poultry farm uses, problems and solutions

Adding things to Haris list:

uses:
---source of meat
---source of eggs
---local demand is fulfilled
---employment opportunities created
---minimises rural to urban migration
---Poultry waste provide nutrients to fish farming
add more :/

problems:
---unhygienic conditions
---lack of government attention
---primitive method
---low investment thereby leading to a low overall profit
---illiteracy thus poor methods and techniques
---Diseases like bird flue reduces productivity.
add more

Solutions to above mentioned problems
---loans provided to poultry farmers > can make improvements to the farm
---education provided to farmers > will use better techniques
---veterinaty services should be provided to protect against bird flue etc.
cant think of more so plz add on to the list :/

 

[HarisShahzad]

all done? should i post next 20 ?

 

[Anon]

@Haris: Sure do

 

[ashiqbal]

uses:
---source of WHITE meat
---increasing demand of white meat
---source of eggs
---local demand is fulfilled
---employment opportunities created
---minimises rural to urban migration
---Poultry waste provide nutrients to fish farming
---Poultry waste, called litter, is used as fertilizer
---chicks that are sick can be coloured and sold to children, LOLZ
add more :/

problems:
---unhygienic conditions
---lack of government attention
---primitive method
---low investment thereby leading to a low overall profit
---illiteracy thus poor methods and techniques
---Diseases like bird flue reduces productivity.
---transmission of diseases from humans or to humans
---small scale farming does not produce high output
---problem of disposal of waste, and high cost, eg broken eggs, and dead chicken.
---high initial cost of setup for feeding troughs,for air conditioning, sanitization, etc.
add more

Solutions to above mentioned problems
---loans provided to poultry farmers > can make improvements to the farm
---education provided to farmers > will use better techniques
---veterinaty services should be provided to protect against bird flue etc.
---vaccination (can be included in vet facilities)
---sanitization of farm

cant think of more so plz add on to the list :/

 

[shezi1995]

For poultry solutions:
-setting up chicken processing plants where chicken products can be made like nuggets etc. This will add to more profit as these are value added products.

 

[alibrizwan]

question#9 is a problem here too>.

 

[alibrizwan]

question 9...help pls..

 

[shezi1995]

For Question 9.
I think buffalo milk has more fat so it is used for preparation of butter, cream, cheese etc. And buffalo meat is richer in protein. Buffalo milk is produced more than milk by other livestock.

 

[alibrizwan]

q 28...plz

 

[HarisShahzad]

Q28
Ans> Rice requires a lot of water which can only be provided through irrigation. It can not grow in areas that practice barani farming as the amount of rainfall will be insufficent for the rice to properly grow.

 

[screamingskull]

these are two questions i have difficulty in. although they are not entirely fro agriculture
plz help out

Q: Explain why the precipitation increases in july and august in the Karakoram Mountains?
Q:Explain how farming and industry is affected by the climate and topography of mountain areas such as the karakorams?

 

[Jinkglex]

I think in poultry farming you might as well remember what transhumance, settled and nomadic farming is

in july and august rainfall increases due to relief rain, convection rain and strong gusts of the monsoon winds which blow in from the bay of bengal but do not have much water content.

EDIT: please correct me if i am wrong about relief rain, or if you have any conflicting opinion

Farming affected: Soil is thin (infertile)
terracing required
higher capital needed (e.g more fertilizer, more work overall required, canal irrigation required for some fields)
rare to see large tracts of fertile land which is even (rice, sugarcane need even land)
restriction in the stuff you can plant, so, kharif crops which need high temperatures cant grow at that altitude because of cold, low water etc

Industry:
lack of roads/difficult to build roads, more capital needed
lack of infrastructure and govt interest because of it
avalanches, snowfalls, slippery slopes etc, make it hazardous
thus, mostly small scale industry/fruit farming etc practised in areas like Hunza valley and Peshawar
