Content
Pests are animals that damage agricultural produce by feeding on them. Common pests of crops are insects, birds, bats, rodents and monkeys. Diseases are abnormalities in the growth of crops. Common diseases of crops include
Maize smut, groundnut rosette, cassava mosaic, tomato rot, yam rot, cassava leaf blight
And rice smut.
Pests and diseases have these adverse effects on the growth and development crop plants:
1. Pests reduce the growth of crop plants by eating up their leaves.
2. Pests and diseases reduce the yield of crop plants by reducing the quality of fruits and seeds harvested.
3. They reduce the quality of farm produce and stored grains.
4. Some pests transmit diseases to human by poisoning and contaminating harvested produce of crop plants meant for human consumption. Crop plants mostly affected by pests and diseases arE cereals, tubers, legumes, fruits and vegetables
COMMON PEST
The pests that affect them are
Insects
rodents,
birds
Bat
monkeys.
Insect pests
The insects that damage cereal crops include stem borers, weevils and army worms. The stem borer damages the crops by boring holes into, and chewing the stems of maize, sugarcane, sorghum and rice. It also damages the cobs of maize.
Rodents
The common rodents that damage cereal crops are rats and grass cutters. They also damage the young seedlings of cereal crops.
.
Birds
Common birds that damage cereal crops include weaver birds, quells and bush fowls. Weaver birds eat up mature grains of cereals, such as rice, maize and guinea corn. They also tear off parts of the leaves of the crops for making their nests. This reduces the yield of crops. Bush fowls feed on mature grains of cereal crops.
Methods of controlling pests
1. Maintain adequate farm hygiene.
2. Plant crops in time.
3. Treat seeds with protective chemicals.
4. Trap and kill rodents.
5. Use scarecrows to keep off birds.

Procedure for raising cattle
There are many steps involved in raising farm animals, right from when they are young, till when they are old or mature and are ready for marketing. These steps can be generally grouped into housing, feeding, health care and handling for marketing.
.
Procedure for raising cattle
Cattle are large farm animals with or without (big) horns which are reared for milk and meat. They are mostly found in the northern part of the country. They are raised using the following procedure:
.
Housing
Cattle require little housing facilities. They are kept mostly in the open field to graze and rest under the shade of trees. Rare move them from one place to another in search of pasture. This is known as the nomadic system of cattle rearing .Milking and nursing cows require some form of housing or shelter. The house should be well ventilated and have sufficient space for the milkier and the young ones.
Feeding
Cattle feed more on grasses and legumes in the pastures. Rarer usually move them around the fields to graze and drink from streams, lakes or troughs.
Procedure for rearing sheep and goats
Sheep and goats are found in every part of the country, although they are more in the north. They are raised through the following procedure:
Housing
Sheep and goats do not require expensive houses or pens. The houses should be low and have low walls for protection from cold at night. The roof of the pens may be of iron sheets or grass. Grass houses
are better because they are cooler in the hot season. Sheep and goats enjoy free movement, and they perform better when left unrestricted. In the northern part of the country, sheep and goats are allowed to run with cattle in the pasture. In the west, they are allowed to roam freely and rest outside at night. In the east, they are confined in the pens or within the compound where they are fed with grass fodder.
1. Herding:
This is also called extensive system of feeding. In this system, the animals are allowed to feed freely on a vast area of land. This system is good because it enables the animals to pick up food of their choice and at the same time run around and exercise themselves.
.
2. Semi-stall feeding:
In this system, the animals are kept in an enclosure. Movement is, therefore, restricted. A stall or house is built and racks provided for placing feed, grass or kitchen waste for the animals. Drinking water is also provided. If the enclosure has grass already, the animals are allowed to feed on it. This is also called semi intensive method.
3. Tether:
This is a system of keeping sheep and goats tied to a stake with a rope or tether. The animals are almost not free to move, and whatever movement they make depends on the length of the rope. The animals may be taken out to open pastures and tied to shrubs while they feed on available grass.
Procedure for rearing pigs
Pigs are kept mainly for pork, bacon and lard.
Housing
Pigs require cheap and simple houses or stays. The houses may be of metal roofs or thatch. It should be well ventilated with low walls and doors. The floor should be of rough concrete. Feed and water troughs should also be of concrete. A wallowing bay or facility should be provided in one corner of the pen.
Feeding
Pigs eat almost everything eaten by man. In the villages, they are allowed to roam about in search of food. Pigs reared in pens are fed with concentrates and vegetable matter.

COMPONENT OF ANIMALS FEED
Animals feed is a food given to domestic animals in the course of breeding or rearing of animals
There are two basic types, namely-locally and process foods
Domestic animals like cattle, goat, sheep, chicken, bird etc generally feed on plants, grains, or both. Animals feed on yam or potato pills, chaff, and household food scraps etc
This type of animals feed are cheap and available naturally or locally without stress. They are rich in nutrients require for animals to grow well and produce in large quantities.
PROCESS
Most animal feed is plants, grains, chaff, etc. but some of the animals feed are now processed feds by some manufacturers adding ingredients are required for animals to grow healthy. Good examples of these animals feed are starter, grower, layer, mash chicken feed.
