work?”What they job requirements?”

B. Establishing Lesson Present the Lesson Title and Objectives:

Purpose
(Aims) Unlocking Content Area Vocabulary:

● Oral communication is essential for effectively sharing information between

farmers, suppliers, and experts to ensure the proper use and management of
resources like seeds, fertilizers, and equipment.

● Job requirements typically include knowledge of agricultural practices, strong

communication skills, the ability to manage resources efficiently, and expertise
in the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and machinery.

● Written communication refers to the process of conveying information, ideas,

or instructions through written symbols or text. In the context of farm inputs,
written communication.
C. Developing and Labor requirements: in animal production vary depending on the type of animal being
Deeping Understanding raised, the scale of the operation, and the specific tasks involved. Generally, labor is
(Tasks and Thoughts) needed in the following areas:

1. Animal Care and Management:

● Feeding: Workers must ensure animals are fed the right type and amount
of feed at appropriate intervals.
● Health Monitoring: Labor is required for checking the health of animals,
administering medications, vaccinations, and treatments for diseases.
● Breeding: Skilled labor is needed for managing breeding schedules,
selecting breeding pairs, and ensuring successful reproduction.

2. Facility Maintenance;

● Cleaning: Regular cleaning of animal housing and facilities is necessary to

prevent disease and maintain hygiene.
● Infrastructure Maintenance: Labor is needed to ensure the proper
functioning of fences, water systems, and other infrastructure that supports
animal housing.

3. Record Keeping:

● Monitoring the performance and health of animals, keeping records on

breeding, vaccinations, feed consumption, and overall health status.

4. Processing (in meat production):

● Labor is needed for slaughtering, processing, and packaging animals for

sale or distribution. This requires skilled labor for compliance with
sanitation and safety standards.

5. Marketing and Sales:

● Labor is also required for selling products such as milk, eggs, or meat.
Workers may engage in packaging, logistics, and marketing activities.

6. Feeding Systems and Equipment:

● In modern operations, labor may also be needed for managing automated

feeding systems, milking machines, and other technology used in animal
production.

7. Specialized Tasks:

● Depending on the type of animal, there may be specialized tasks such as

wool shearing (in sheep), milk collection (in dairy cows), or egg collection
(in poultry farming).

Labor Skills and Training: The labor force in animal production requires a mix of
general labor and specialized skills. While tasks like cleaning and feeding may be
carried out by unskilled or semi-skilled workers, other aspects such as veterinary care,
breeding management, and facility design require specialized knowledge and training.

Worker Health and Safety: The physical nature of animal production work, including
handling large animals, operating machinery, and exposure to chemicals and zoonotic
diseases (diseases transmissible from animals to humans), means that worker health and
safety are critical considerations.

Brainstorm Activity:

● Divide the class into 4 groups.

● Give each group assign a short, simple job description (either written or a short
recorded audio clip).

● Group 1 Farm Manager

● Group 2 Agricultural Technician
● Group 3 Farm Equipment Operator
● Group 4 Livestock Handler

● Have each group present their output in front of the class. (One volunteer each group)

D. Making Analysis:
Generalization
(Abstraction)
● How do labor requirements in animal production change when automation
is introduced into the farming operation?
● What impact does the type of animal (e.g., poultry vs. dairy) have on labor
requirements?
● Why is worker health and safety a critical concern in animal production,
and what can be done to mitigate risks?

Abstraction

Labor requirements in animal production are influenced by the type of animals being
raised, the scale of operations, and the complexity of tasks. Effective animal production
involves both general and specialized labor, with certain tasks requiring skilled workers
in areas such as animal health, breeding, and processing.

The introduction of technology and automation can significantly reduce labor in specific
areas, but skilled labor remains essential for maintaining equipment and overseeing
critical tasks. Labor in animal production also requires attention to worker safety and
training, as the physical nature of the work and exposure to various hazards can impact
workers' well-being.
