Livestock raising involves the breeding and caring for animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens for various purposes. These animals are primarily raised for food, including meat, milk, and eggs, as well as for other products like wool and leather. Farmers manage their health, nutrition, and living conditions to ensure productivity and well-being.
In addition to food production, livestock raising can also contribute to agricultural sustainability. Animals can help with land management by grazing on pastures, which can improve soil health. Furthermore, livestock manure can be used as a natural fertilizer, enhancing crop growth and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
