lantbruksdjurens

Lantbruksdjurens, a Swedish term, translates to "farm animals" or "livestock" in English. It encompasses all animals raised for agricultural purposes, primarily for the production of food, fiber, and other products. This category includes a wide range of species that have been domesticated and bred by humans over millennia to serve specific roles in food production and rural economies.

The most common lantbruksdjur include cattle, raised for milk, meat, and hides. Pigs are another significant group, valued for their meat (pork). Poultry, such as chickens, ducks, and turkeys, are raised for eggs and meat. Sheep and goats are primarily kept for wool, milk, and meat. Horses, while historically crucial for labor and transportation, are still considered lantbruksdjur in some contexts, particularly for work on farms or in equestrian activities. Other animals like rabbits and certain types of fish may also fall under this umbrella depending on the scale and purpose of their farming.

The management and welfare of lantbruksdjur are important aspects of modern agriculture. This involves considerations for feeding, housing, health care, and ethical treatment, all aiming to ensure the well-being of the animals and the sustainability of farming practices. The products derived from these animals are fundamental to human diets and industries worldwide.
