Sample Activity of Integration – Nutrition in Mammals

 Context

 Using animals for clearing the bush around your home or farm is a beautiful thing. Goats are one of the oldest species of animals that have been domesticated. They serve various purposes, from milk production to providing meat. These products are consumed. Goat hair and goatskin are also used. Goats are animals that naturally love to browse. Young goats are fed on milk until they are weaned. Later on, they can chew anything chewable that they come across. After they are weaned, goats eat different types of vegetation and hay when they are permitted to graze. This makes them great for grazing. Yet plants make their own food in the form of leaves, branches and stems, among others.
