What is the purpose of rearing animals?

example of animals reared


rabbit


pig


goat


sheep


cattle



Of the list provided all have more than one purpose in providing something to man.


Rabbit: quick breeders, have very large numbers of offspring, fast growers, provide food (meat) & hair (used to create felt)


Pig: easy to care for,grow quite large, have large numbers of offspring, will eat scraps (our rubbish), provides food (meat)


Sheep,Goats & Cattle: all these animals provide us with food both meat & milk, a sheep also provides Wool & leather, goats have a use that is very underrated (they will eat anything & everything, and can be used to clear land of unwanted vegetation), as well as providing the similar products as those of a sheep, Cattle: apart from meat, milk & leather also provide mussel, they are used to plow a field, pull a cart, pump water ( they are a cheap energy source ).
