3 3 1 SO 1 AC 1-3 Instructions to learner: Learner Guide: Page 17 Facilitator Guide: Page 12 Make a list of nutrient groups and describe for each its function in the body. Nutrient Crude Protein Carbohydrates / Starches Fats & Oils Crude Fibre Minerals Ca P K Na Cl Mg S Fe Vitamins Water Function in the body Building blocks for all protein containing material in the body primarily muscle and connective tissue, milk, fibre, blood, certain enzymes and hormones. Supplies the day to day energy for running the body s whole metabolism Supplies extra energy during times in which the carbohydrates are too few; Stores surplus energy as body fat; Necessary for the function of certain vitamins and enzymes. Contains some carbohydrates and starches that can be utilized by some animals. The roughage aspect of this fraction helps to keep the gut working properly. 99% of the Ca in the body is found in the bone and teeth. Essential for the normal functioning of the heart and skeletal muscles. Essential in the activity of the enzyme system. Also involved in the coagulation of blood % of the P in the body is found in the bone and teeth. Essential for the energy metabolism of the body. Essential for balancing the acidity of the body fluids. Important in carbohydrate metabolism as well as nerve and muscle function. Also essential for the general balancing of fluids in the body. Urine contains high levels of K. Plays a role in transmission of nerve impulses and in the absorption of sugar and protein from the digestive tract. Essential in the balance of the body fluid and maintenance of muscle tone. Chemical component of digestive juices- it aid digestion. Essential in the balance of the body fluid and maintenance of muscle tone Activator for many different enzymes. Plays a role in balancing body fluids. Essential for the formation of S-containing proteins. Wool contains high levels of S. Essential for hormone and enzyme functions. Essential part of the haemoglobin molecule that carries the oxygen in the blood. Is either part of or activates a number of enzyme systems. In general they are either a part of or help to activate the enzyme and coenzyme systems of the body. Vitamins are essential for all aspects of energy transmission in the body. The body consists of between 75 and 85% water. Essential component of all systems in the body. It forms the ultimate mediator between the body and its environment.

5 5 4 SO 2 AC 1-3 Instructions to learner: Field trip and individual assignment. Learner Guide: Page 23 Facilitator Guide: Page 13 Go to the farm were you are doing your practical and ask for a copy of the fire prevention plans and procedures. Discus the plan in class and assess if it is satisfactory. Make suggestions to improve it. The answer will differ from farm to farm but should include: 1. The basic fire control measures must be implemented on the farm. 2. Attention should be given to the safe storage of dry matter like hay and silage to reduce risk of fire outbreaks. 3. Rules regarding smoking of tobacco must be strictly enforced especially with regard to non-smoking areas. 4. Fire prevention equipment like fire extinguishers must be visible, accessible and clearly marked out. 5. All employees on the farm must receive proper training with regard to fire prevention. 6. An accessible register with al the signed-in names of employees must be kept at hand by management to make sure everybody is accounted for in the case of a fire outbreak. 7. Proper evacuation routes must be in place with safe assembly areas away from barns etc. for the assembly of personnel in the case of fire. 8. Retaining teams must be organized to retain fires and provide first aid if necessary. My Notes
6 6 5 SO 2 AC 1-3 Instructions to learner: Field trip and individual assignment. Learner Guide: Page 24 Facilitator Guide: Page 13 Make a list of the effects that a poor insect and rodent control plan might have on animal health and production on the farm. Ensure an active rodent and insect control program (use cats, dogs, baited traps, eco-friendly poison). The reason for such a program has 3 basic principles: Producers must apply food safety principles when producing foodstuffs for human consumption as prescribed by law. Significant losses may occur due to rodent consumption and/or contamination by insects or rodents. When containing the population of rodents and insects like flies one indirectly reduce the risk for infections and sickness to animals and livestock. This can help to improve production on the farm because of the reduction in loss of production and livestock 6 SO 3 AC 1-4 Instructions to learner: Field trip and individual assignment.
