Why animals must be well fed

A child that does not eat well does not grow well; it is often ill.

A man who does not eat well cannot do much work; he is not strong, he is often ill.

It is the same with animals.

A badly fed calf does not grow well; it is often ill and often it dies.

A badly fed cow does not produce big calves; she cannot feed them well.

A farmer who feeds his animals well makes more money.

Animals change cheap food that is difficult to carry into other more costly foods that are easy to carry.

For example: grass, over- ripe yams, grain that is broken or eaten by insects, the remains of the family's food, are changed into milk, meat, work and young ones.
