Livestock

There are many different types of livestock animals that can be raised on a farm or ranch. These include cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and chickens. Each type of animal has its own unique set of needs in terms of housing, feeding, and care.

Cattle are generally kept in large pasture areas where they can graze on grass. They may also be given hay or other roughage to supplement their diet. Cattle need to be vaccinated and dewormed regularly to prevent disease.

Pigs are usually kept in pens or hutches and fed a diet of grain, corn, and other vegetables. They require clean water and regular access to a mud wallow to stay cool and comfortable. Pigs must be vaccinated against various diseases, including swine flu.

Sheep are typically kept in pasture and fed a diet of grass and hay. They require regular shearing to keep their wool from getting too thick. Sheep must be vaccinated against various diseases, including sheep pox.

Goats are usually kept in pens or pasture and fed a diet of hay, grain, and other vegetables. They require regular deworming and vaccinations, and their horns must be trimmed regularly.

Chickens are typically kept in a coop and fed a diet of grain, corn, and other vegetables. They require clean water and regular access to a dust bath to stay healthy. Chickens must be vaccinated against various diseases, including bird flu.

Farming

Livestock farming is the production of animals for meat, milk, or other products. It involves the raising of animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats. Animal husbandry is the managing of these animals, including their feeding, housing, and health care.

Handling

Livestock handling is the process of moving and working with livestock. It can be done by hand or with the help of livestock handling equipment. Proper livestock handling is important for the safety of both the animals and the people who work with them. It also helps to ensure that livestock are treated humanely and that they remain healthy and productive.
