Taking Care of the Environment in Raising Animals

It is important to take care of the environment when raising animals. Some laws
regulate the use of a place for animal raising. Laws prohibit the use of residential areas for
large-scale animal raising. There is a need to segregate waste. A definite place should be
allotted for dumping the waste. Be sure that this waste does not pollute the surrounding area
specially lakes, ponds, and rivers. Animals should stay in their own fence, and they are not
allowed to loiter.

Keeps an Updated Record of Growth and Progress on Animals/ Fish Raising

To keep records to assess whether your farm business yields income or not is
important. Assuming that business is good, farm products are abundant and daily operations
are at their peak, you should be able to set standards for all aspects of production. For
example, quantity of milk produced every day, number of young born every breeding cycle,
number of animals sold every selling season.

Animal/Fish Raising Using the Internet

Internet marketing, or let us say an online marketing, is the process of promoting a

business and services over the internet. It is a business without a wall it has a wide array of
business opportunities and may even work 24/7. It is comfortable for those buyers who are
busy but may add cost for some reasons.

It may cost the buyer to pay for delivery direct to his home or the customer may opt for
meet ups for delivery of the product. The payment mode can be either Cash on Delivery or
through Online Banking payment to avoid hassle.
