What does animal husbandry mean and what are the included

Animal husbandry refers to the production process of using the physiological functions of wild animals such as animals such as livestock and poultry that have been artificially raised and domesticated by our humans, or the physiological functions of wild animals such as deer, musk deer, fox, marten, otter, quail, etc., through artificial breeding and breeding, so that they can transform plant energy such as pasture and feed into animal energy to obtain meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, skin, silk and medicinal materials. It is an extremely important link in the material exchange between human beings and the natural world. Livestock is an important part of agriculture and is listed as the two pillars of agricultural production along with crop farming.

Animal husbandry is a comprehensive discipline that studies livestock breeding, reproduction, feeding, management, disease prevention and epidemic prevention, as well as grassland construction, animal product processing and animal husbandry management.

The business scope of animal husbandry includes: dairy cow breeding, sales of organic fertilizers, feed production, forage planting, acquisition, processing and sales, laying hen industry, broiler industry, dairy industry, beef cattle industry, pig industry, etc.

Animal husbandry in a broad sense also often includes agro-industrial enterprises that serve it, such as various breeding livestock and poultry companies, animal husbandry and industrial joint companies, compound feed companies, etc. The main ways to develop animal husbandry include: adjusting the structure of animal husbandry according to local conditions, opening up feed, improving livestock breeds, strengthening feeding management, preventing diseases, and improving the productivity of livestock per unit; At the same time, the number of livestock is increased.

Animal husbandry can generally be divided into pastoral animal husbandry and agricultural animal husbandry. The distribution area of animal husbandry in the agricultural area is mainly temperate agricultural area and tropical agricultural area bounded by the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River. Animal husbandry in pastoral areas is mainly distributed in grassland areas, desert areas and plains.

Animal husbandry has the role and status of providing meat, milk, eggs and other foods for urban people, wool and cashmere for industry, organic fertilizer for agricultural production, increasing employment opportunities, and promoting economic development.

1. What are the animal husbandry industries?

2. Animal husbandry in agricultural areas: mainly raising pigs, cattle and poultry, etc., obtaining meat, milk, eggs, poultry and other livestock products, feeding methods are mainly captive, and the feed mainly comes from locally grown grain.

Second, the distribution area.

1. The pastoral areas of animal husbandry mainly include the western part of Heilongjiang and Jilin Province, the northern part of Hebei Province, and the eastern part of Inner Mongolia. desert areas of the Altai Mountains, Tianshan Mountains, Qilian Mountains, Kunlun Mountains and Altun Mountains; Desert plains on both sides of Helan Mountain and north of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

2. The animal husbandry area of the agricultural area is mainly the northern temperate agricultural area north of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River, and the southern subtropical and tropical agricultural areas south of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River.

Animal husbandry refers to the industry that takes animals as the production object and uses agricultural resources to carry out activities such as breeding, breeding, production reform, processing, and sales. Here are some of the main areas and related industries that are included in the livestock industry: Livestock farming:

Including cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock and poultry breeding. Fur farming: including the cultivation of fur animals such as mink, fox, mink, raccoon dog, etc.

Sericulture farming: including silkworm breeding and mulberry cultivation, mainly used for the production of silk. Honey bee farming:

This includes the cultivation of bees and the production of honey. Forage planting: including the planting of forage plants such as corn, soybean meal, and forage grass.

Feed processing: processing plant materials into feed, such as feed pellets, concentrated feed, etc. Livestock product processing:

Livestock products such as meat, eggs, dairy products, etc., such as cooked food, canned food, dairy products, etc., are further processed.

<> animal husbandry refers to the production sector that uses the physiological functions of domesticated animals or wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, quails, etc., to convert plant energy such as pasture or fodder into animal energy, and finally obtain related livestock products. The difference between animal husbandry and dairy animal husbandry: dairy animal husbandry is a type of agricultural region oriented to the city, and the products are mainly milk and dairy products, while animal husbandry belongs to the agricultural type, rather than the agricultural regional type, and the products mainly include milk and dairy products, animal skins, meat, horns, etc.

1. What is animal husbandry?

1. Definition of animal husbandry.

Animal husbandry refers to the use of animals that have been successfully domesticated by humans (such as cattle, horses, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, etc.), or the physiological functions of wild animals such as deer, musk deer, foxes, minks, otters, quails, etc., after artificial breeding and breeding, so that the above-mentioned animals can convert plant energy such as pasture or feed into animal energy, and finally obtain related livestock products (such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, cashmere, skin, silk, medicinal materials, etc.).

2. The role of animal husbandry.

1) Provide meat, eggs, milk and other animal foods for human beings, and provide raw materials such as wool, cashmere, skin, animal bones, and casings for industry.

2) Provide animal power for agriculture and transportation (such as horses, cattle, donkeys, etc.).

3) Livestock manure can be used as fertilizer for crops, helping to save planting costs.

4) It can promote the development of livestock input industry and livestock product processing industry, and at the same time provide a large number of employment opportunities.

5) It can increase farmers' income.

2. The difference between animal husbandry and dairy farming

1. Animal husbandry belongs to the type of agriculture, not the type of agricultural region, and dairy animal husbandry is a type of commoditized and intensive agricultural region oriented to the urban market with the development of cities.

2. Most of the dairy industry is distributed near large cities (if it is a dairy agriculture that produces and processes dairy products, it can be far away from the city), and at the same time, it can be planted with pasture grass and feed crops.

3. The production objects of dairy animal husbandry are mainly dairy cows, and the products are mainly milk and dairy products, while the production objects of animal husbandry are wider, and the products include animal fur, meat, horns, etc. in addition to milk and dairy products.
