Test: Livestock - 1 - Class 4 MCQ

Explanation: Livestock animals refer to domesticated animals that are raised in an agricultural setting to produce commodities such as food, fiber, and labor. This includes farm animals like cows, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry such as chickens and turkeys. These animals are raised for various purposes, including meat, milk, eggs, wool, and leather.

Cattle are primarily domesticated for beef or milk or as beasts of burden as cows and oxen.

Sheep are primarily used for their fleece or wool, meat, and to some degree for their milk.

Goats are raised for their meat and milk.

Pigs are raised for their meat (pork).

Cow dung is used as fuel in the countryside and is also a very rich manure.

Leather is made out of cow or buffalo skin.

Horses are used for riding, racing, farm work, or for drawing vehicles.

Donkeys and mules are also used as working/helping animals.

Healthy cattle provide milk, which can be consumed by the farmer and sold for a profit.
