  1. Word of the Day: BROILER: Poultry animal with purpose of being raised for meat consumption.

  2. Forces in Animal Agriculture Animal Agriculture

  3. Panoramic View: Animals vs. humans are part of world food consumption demands Introduce the outside forces of animal agriculture

  4. PONDER… • What do livestock animals eat? • Do animals or humans consume more cereal products?

  5. Animal Agriculture – Professor A • A food production system that is responsible for 1/6 of human food energy and 1/3 of human protein • Animals consume 1/3 of worlds grain supply • Conversion efficiency of human protein from plant product differs by species, production system, feed type, and products

  6. Animal Agriculture contribution to Mankind – Professor B • Domestication occurred 6 to 10 thousand years ago. • Provides food clothing, byproducts, power fuel, fertilizer, information for human disease, and pleasure.

  7. Global Consumption

  8. Do animals consume human food?

  9. Guess which amount of feed is needed to be fed to gain 1 pound of weight… Broiler 1.9 3.0 6.5

  10. Animal Agriculture • Conversion rates of grains to milk, meat and eggs are a continued quest in animal production. • Conversion Rates lbs fed per one pound of gain:

  11. Who is the best converter of feed to gain? • Swine, Poultry, or Ruminants? • Poultry and pork production are most efficient on the basis of total feed intake. • But, on average, ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats) return more human food per unit of human-edible feed consumed • because most of their feed is materials that cannot be consumed directly by humans.

  12. Animal Agriculture’s outside forces… • When I say “May the force be with you,” find a sheet of paper on the wall that has one of the 5 forces listed. • In groups of 3 read the word and find 3 ways that force can affect animal production. • In 1 minute be ready to share your ideas.

  13. Mr. Cant’s Drawing… Environment Business Science Social Issues Government Decisions

  14. Objectives • Where have we been today? – Which two big ideas have we covered? Take a moment and look through your notebook if you need to decide. • 1. Identify at least 2 human vs. animal demands on cereal grain utilization. • 2. Diagram the 5 outside forces that impact protein production through animal agriculture.

  15. In your “My Life” Tab • What do you think? 2 questions… • Is giving up 1/3 of our world cereal production to animal agriculture worth the benefit of meat consumption? • Discuss with short paragraph if it is necessary for humans and animals to compete for food.
