1. Animal Science Framework Presentation Mr. Sullivan

2. The five Major Types of Livestock in the United States: ► Poultry: chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, game birds, and squab (pigeons) ► Swine: pigs ► Bovine: cattle ► Ovine: sheep ► Equine: horses ► (Goats)

3. The Major Geographical Regions of Production ► Chicken production is divided into two sections: Broiler and Egg ► Broiler production is led by Georgia, Alabama, and Us (Arkansas)

4. Geographical Regions of Production (continued) ► Turkeys are scattered out from the Pacific region, across the western part of the North Central Region, and in the South Atlantic Region

5. Geographical Regions of Production (continued) ► Swine: pork production is predominant in the states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Nebraska

6. Geographical Regions of Production (continued) ► Bovine: the most production comes from the southern and western states

7. Geographical Regions of Production (continued) ► Ovine: the leading states in production are Texas, California, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Oregon

8. Geographical Regions of Production (continued) ► Equine: horses are everywhere; however, there are not as many now as before 1929.

9. The Importance of Livestock to the United States Economy ► The average person in the United States consumes 48 pounds of beef, 29 pounds of pork, and 24 pounds of poultry each year. ► We consume more meat than any other nation.

10. Products Obtained from Livestock ► Food/ Drink ► Clothing ► Tools/ Equipment
