Animals In Agriculture: Their Growth and Development

Students compare common food products with a complete livestock feed, checking for protein, sugar, starch, fat, and vitamin C. They dissect a chicken wing, comparing it with the parts and functions of the human arm. Scale animal models are used to help learn about livestock weight estimates and weight gain.
