• Throwing away the manure and focusing only on selling the meat.

• Implementing a biogas digester to convert pig manure into cooking gas and fertilizer.

A farmer observes that their poultry animals are becoming stressed and fighting. This is most likely a problem with the housing requirement related to:

• Space and density (Overcrowding).

• Water quality (Dirty water).

• Feed quality (Nutrient deficiency).

• Lighting conditions (Too much darkness).

The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (RA 9003) is applied to animal production. Which practice is a direct result of complying with this act?

• Only importing foreign breeds for b`etter output.
• Selling animal products at the highest possible price.
• Building a large, air-conditioned barn for the animals.
• Collecting, sorting, and composting animal manure instead of dumping it.

You are tasked with designing housing for a large flock of egg-laying chickens. To maintain industry standards, which element is essential to include in the design?

• A large pond for swimming.

• Nest boxes and perches for rest and egg laying.

• An automatic meat processing facility.

• Specialized shearing equipment.

Which farm waste processing method is the most environmentally sound and beneficial for long-term soil health?

• Dumping all waste in a nearby river or stream.

• Converting crop residues and animal manure into compost for organic fertilizer.

• Burying plastic materials alongside organic waste.

• Burning all farm waste immediately after harvest.

A farmer uses the broadcasting method for planting seeds. What is the main characteristic of this method?

• The seeds are scattered randomly over the prepared land, often requiring thinning later.

• The seeds are first soaked in water overnight.

• Only one seed is placed in each hole at a time.

• The seeds are planted in straight, even rows. 

A farmer chooses to transplant seedlings rather than direct-seeding. Which of the following is the most significant advantage of transplanting?

• It completely eliminates the need for weeding.

• It allows for the selection of healthy seedlings and increases the chance of uniform crop maturity.

• It guarantees a higher final yield regardless of weather conditions.

• It requires less effort and time than direct-seeding.

Which of the following statements correctly differentiates the Leghorn chicken breed from the Sussex breed?

• Leghorn is a duck breed, while Sussex is a chicken breed.

• Leghorn requires no housing, while Sussex needs a large coop.

• Leghorn is primarily for high egg production, while Sussex is a dual-purpose (meat and egg) breed.

• Leghorn is only used for fighting, while Sussex is for meat.

Compare the timing of harvesting crops with the timing of post-harvesting practices. What is the fundamental difference?

• Harvesting is focused on soil, while post-harvesting is focused on pests.

• Harvesting is only done by hand, while post-harvesting is done by machine.

• Harvesting is the act of gathering mature crops, while post-harvesting is the immediate treatment after gathering.

• Harvesting happens in the morning, while post-harvesting happens in the afternoon.
