The livestock industry involves the breeding and raising of animals for food, fiber, and other products. Common livestock includes cattle, sheep, pigs, and goats. These animals provide essential resources such as meat, milk, and wool, contributing significantly to the global food supply and economy. In addition to food production, the livestock industry plays a role in agricultural practices. Livestock can help with land management by grazing on pastures, which can improve soil health. The industry also faces challenges, including animal welfare concerns and environmental impacts, prompting ongoing discussions about sustainable practices.
