In recent years, why are fewer and fewer people raising horses in rural areas? Is it because it does

In addition to farming at home, people in rural areas may also engage in some side jobs, that is, there will be some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep from the family of the breeding profession. In the past, rural people might have kept some horses at home, but now they are rare, because horses were used as a means of transportation in ancient times.

If you raise a horse at home, you can save foot strength. But now people have cars in their homes, and no matter how bad they are, they also have a battery car or a bicycle, so they don't need horses at all, and horse breeding is more difficult, and it is very easy to have accidents when itchy. <>

In ancient times, horses were indeed a relatively scarce thing, because the political situation at that time was not very stable, and they were often built, so people would use war horses when they got them. In the folk days, there are also some people who will keep a horse at home to transport things or help them with farm work, and sometimes they will ride horses when they go far away. Nowadays, if you want to see horses, you can only go to the grasslands, where there are some herders who raise horses, but you can't see them in this place, although there are some mountains and plains where people will raise horses, but it is very rare.

If you want to ask the reason, it is that if rural people raise other things, such as rabbits or sheep, they can be sold at that time, and the profits in eating meat are also very large, and the cost is not high, and they usually only eat grass. But if you raise horses at home, the cost is very high, and the profit is still very low, and many people are not used to eating horse meat.

Because the taste of horse meat is not very good, and the sales channel is very narrow, these horses can be sold to filming people after they are fed, and then they will go to film TV. <>

Raising horses is much more difficult than raising other animals, because many young people are now largely out of the countryside and therefore do not have time to herd horses. All of them are elderly, and the elderly may think that it is better to raise donkeys, because donkeys are more obedient, and donkey meat is more expensive than horses. The size of the horse is relatively large, and the temper is very short-tempered, if you don't get it right, it is likely to kick people, if the old man is kicked, the accident is relatively big, so the old people in the countryside feel that the risk of raising horses is relatively high.

Mainly because the cost of raising horses is relatively high, and the use is not particularly large, so few people raise horses, and it is also because they do not make money.

Because the cost of raising horses is very high, raising horses is of special use, and most people will not feel that they eat horse meat. The income of horses is relatively low, so no one has horses.

It may be that people's need for horses is not as high as before, and there is no need to raise horses.

But because it doesn't make money, and another reason is that raising horses usually takes a lot of labor, and it is really troublesome to buy feed for my mother and mow the grass.

Herds of horses can now be seen, probably only in the steppes of Inner Mongolia. In the past, horses were used as farmers' service animals, and almost every household had bred them, because horses ate less than cattle and walked faster, so horses were more used as service animals than cattle. Later, with the popularization of mechanization, horses withdrew from the role of service in rural areas, and now there are a few families who raise horsesSo what is the purpose of raising horses now?

1. Sell it as a commodity. Horse meat is nutritious, the taste is similar to donkey meat, many people can't even distinguish between horse meat and donkey meat, now some restaurants are specialized in horse meat, barbecue horse meat is said to be particularly delicious, but I haven't said that I have eaten it. The number of horses used for slaughtering and selling meat every year is still quite large, horse meat ** reaches 30 yuan per catty, and a horse is sold for 10,000 yuan in previous years, of course, it is not used for slaughter, it is said that it is used to breed mares.

2. Naadam Assembly Mount. Inner Mongolia reports every year about the Naadam Conference, which is a grand event of the Mongolian ethnic group, where there are riding performances and horse riding competitions, these horses need special training, so they are selected from the horse herd, and then they are trained, and only those who pass can be hired.

3. As a means of transportation. Quietly hungryAlthough farming is now mechanized, there are still a very small number of people who like to use horse-drawn carts to pull something, mainly those who are older farmers.

4. Watch the test ride. The tourist attractions of our prairie have horseback riding projects, and tourists must experience the feeling of horseback riding when they arrive at the grassland, so as not to come to the prairie once in vain, so the tourist attractions are to raise some arch tourists to ride horses, these horses must have a docile temperament, not like horse racing.

Maybe it's because of the breed, and it's hard to raise horses.

Because the Chinese use all these horses as farm work.

This is generally because the Chinese size of the code does not use the excellent selection of that variety, but crossbreeding.

I think this is because of the geographical environment, there are no open grasslands.
