Example: Vitamin itiongagĩrĩrwo irio-inĩ nĩũndũ nyingĩ ya cio nĩcionekaga mahuti-inĩ matarĩ momũ na imwe igathondekerwo nda thĩinĩ nĩ tũhengereta tũrĩa tũteithagia gũthĩa irio. (Vitamins are usually not added to dairy cattle rations because most of them are obtained from green forages and some are made in the rumen by microorganisms.); Ngũkũ iria ciarĩkia kũhona: Imwe ya ngũkũ ici, cionekaga irĩ na ũgima mwega wa mwĩrĩ no no ithiaga na mbere kũruta tũhengereta tũrĩa tũrehaga mĩrimũ kũgerera kioro, ũndũ ũrĩ ũrehaga ũgwati makĩria ... (Recovered carriers: they appear healthy but they continue to shed germs causing diseases in faeces and discharges that can be a risk especially to chicks); O na ningĩmbembe nĩibataraga calcium na sulphur. Calcium nĩĩgĩaga na hinya thĩinĩwa tũhengereta, na ũndũ ũcio ũgatũma mĩmera ĩyo ĩkorũo ĩtarĩũgwati-inĩwa kũrũara. (Potatoes will also require calcium and sulfur. Calcium strengthens the cell walls, making the plant less susceptible to diseases.)
