Maatalouseläinlajit

Maatalouseläinlajit, or agricultural livestock, are domesticated animals raised for their products, such as meat, milk, eggs, or fiber. These animals play a crucial role in global food security and the economy. The most common maatalouseläinlajit include cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks. Cattle are primarily raised for beef and dairy products, while sheep and goats are often kept for their wool, meat, and milk. Pigs are a significant source of pork, and poultry, including chickens and ducks, provide eggs and poultry meat. Other maatalouseläinlajit include horses, donkeys, and rabbits, which are raised for various purposes, such as transportation, labor, and companionship. The management of maatalouseläinlajit involves various practices, including feeding, breeding, health care, and environmental management, to ensure the well-being of the animals and the sustainability of the industry. The global demand for agricultural products has led to the development of intensive farming systems, which have both positive and negative impacts on the environment and animal welfare. Therefore, sustainable practices are essential for the long-term viability of the agricultural livestock industry.
