Productivity & Farming Pracitces.

• Less Respiratory Losses:

  Movement is restricted so less energy is used in muscle contraction.

  The environment is kept warm to reduce heat loss from the body.
• More energy transferred to humans:

  Feeding is controlled so animals receive the optimum amount and type of food. This will be higher in protein and lower in cellulose.

  Predators are excluded to simplify a food web.

  Pest control.
