Animal Contributions to Human Needs
2
What animals are used for production purposes?
3
SCIENCE a process through which nature is STUDIED, DISCOVERED, and UNDERSTOOD.
4
Animal Science The PROCESS through which LIVESTOCK ANIMALS are STUDIED and UNDERSTOOD.
5
Animal Science Involves BREEDING, feeding, care and MANAGEMENT of animals; MARKETING and PROCESSING of animals and their PRODUCTS based on knowledge gained through practical EXPERIENCE and RESEARCH.
6
Domestication To adapt an animal for human use
7
Five requirements for domestication
1.The animal is VALUED and there are clear PURPOSES for which it is kept. 2.The animal’s BREEDING is subject to human control. 3.The animal’s SURVIVAL depends upon humans.
8
Five requirements for domestication
4.The animal’s BEHAVIOR (psychology) is changed in domestication. 5.Morphological (STRUCTURAL) characteristics have appeared which occur rarely if at all in the wild.
9
Wild animal not GENETICALLY altered by artificial selection for use by humans Example
10
Tame wild animal a wild animal that, through intervention of man, has adapted BEHAVIORALLY so as to be useful to humans. Example
11
Exotic animal a wild animal belonging to a species whose historic native range lies totally outside NORTH AMERICA Example
12
Domestic animal an animal that has been genetically altered from the original wild species for use by humans through ARTIFICIAL SELECTION Example
13
Feral animal a DOMESTIC animal that lives in the WILD with no human assistance Example
14
Feral population a REPRODUCING group of FERAL animals Example
15
Species a group of closely related animals that can INTERBREED and produce FERTILE offspring Example
16
Breed animals of common ORIGIN with characteristics that distinguish them from other groups within the same SPECIES Example
17
Type animals of the same SPECIES that are grouped together based on the PRODUCTS they produce Example

Why Farmers Use Livestock
Converts feed to meat; feed generally brings more money when marketed through livestock Utilizes labor the year around Allows for greater production capacity and increases opportunity for making profits Helps maintain fertility of the land
117
Why Farmers Use Livestock
May more fully utilize capital, machinery and wasteland (range). Utilizes roughage that can’t readily be sold (poor hay, corn stalks, straw, etc.) Diversifies that farm and/or ranch Personal satisfaction of working with domesticated animals
118
Animal Protein Animal proteins are superior to vegetable proteins for humans Animal proteins have improved amino acid balance over vegetable protein Producing animals for meat, mike, eggs, etc. is not as efficient as compared to cereal grains produced for humans alone
119
Ruminants Have a four compartment stomach Can digest roughages
Manufacture essential amino acids and energy Examples include: Cattle Sheep Goats
120
Non-ruminants (Monogastric)
Have a single compartment stomach Need supplementary sources of amino acids and vitamins Examples include: Swine Poultry Horses
121
Contributions to Food Needs
Vegetarianism -- started in India, due to long-term population pressure and scarcity of feed and forage for animals -- also religious concerns; all life is sacred. Rising Population Pressures -- particularly in developing regions force people to consume foods of plant origin
122
Contributions to food Needs
123
Contributions to Food Needs
Meat -- is important in diet; excellent balance of amino acids, vitamins and especially Vitamin B12 Milk -- approximately 90% of milk for human consumption in the world comes from cattle Over 85% of the world population desires food of animal origin
