Flushing is a management term for providing high quality feeds, usually grains prior to the start of the breeding to increase reproductive performance.
(5aii)
Castration is defined as the destruction or removal of the testes, epididymis, and a part of spermatic cord from a male animal e.g. ram, buck, bull.
===========================================
(6ai)
Useful life of the tractor
=2009-2000
= 9years
(6aii)
Salvage value = D3000.00
(6aiii)
Total depreciation = cost price – salvage value
= (12000-3000)
= D9000.00
(6aiv)
Annual depreciation = Total depreciation /useful life
= 9000/9
= D1000.00
(6bi)
