This lesson will provide the learners with examples of how to apply basic mathematical knowledge in animal systems. This basic mathematical knowledge includes the understanding of mathematical relationships and the application of problem solving skills to solve problems dealing with the production of poultry in the United States. Participants will be asked to determine missing information along with solving introductory problems using basic operations of the sets of whole numbers, rational numbers, and integers concerning the commercial production of poultry within the United States. These problem solving and basic operation skills will be used to determine area, conversion of units, feed allotment, egg production, and other concepts related to poultry production.
