the weather and provide enough space to move around.

20 square feet space. However, for a truly healthy pig,
you should allot each pig about 50 square feet space.
Raising Cow

Provide fresh, clean calf starter, milk replacer and water

everyday. Make sure you offer water at least twice daily.

contamination. This will also keep spilled liquid water
away from the calf’s bedding. They only eat grass everday.

to clean. Flooring must be provided and elevated at least
15 degrees to facilitate cleaning and drainage. Separate
pens must be provided for lactating and dry does , kids,

enclosures to be sold as food.

survive in confined fresh or salty water fish pens and marines cages.

needs: clean water, oxygen, food, light and room to swim. Give
your tilapia these things and they will stay healthy and grow fast.
HARVESTING / CAPTURING ANIMALS
 Harvesting of animals and fish are done on different
indicators such as animal size, weight and number of
months raised. Farmers sometimes harvest their animal /
