Animal Contributions to
Human Needs
What animals are used for
production purposes?
SCIENCE

a process through which nature is
STUDIED, DISCOVERED, and
UNDERSTOOD.
Animal Science
 The
PROCESS through which
LIVESTOCK ANIMALS are
STUDIED and
UNDERSTOOD.
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.
Domestication
 To
adapt an animal for human
use
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.
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.
Wild animal
 not
GENETICALLY altered by
artificial selection for use by
humans
 Example
Tame wild animal
a
wild animal that, through
intervention of man, has
adapted BEHAVIORALLY so
as to be useful to humans.
 Example
Exotic animal
a
wild animal belonging to a
species whose historic native
range lies totally outside
NORTH AMERICA
 Example
Domestic animal
 an
animal that has been
genetically altered from the
original wild species for use by
humans through ARTIFICIAL
SELECTION
 Example
Feral animal
a
DOMESTIC animal that lives
in the WILD with no human
assistance
 Example
Feral population
a
REPRODUCING group of
FERAL animals
 Example
Species
a
group of closely related
animals that can
INTERBREED and produce
FERTILE offspring
 Example
Breed
 animals
of common ORIGIN
with characteristics that
distinguish them from other
groups within the same
SPECIES
 Example
Type
 animals
of the same SPECIES
that are grouped together
based on the PRODUCTS
they produce

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
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
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
Ruminants




Have a four compartment stomach
Can digest roughages
Manufacture essential amino acids and
energy
Examples include:



Cattle
Sheep
Goats
Non-ruminants (Monogastric)



Have a single compartment stomach
Need supplementary sources of amino
acids and vitamins
Examples include:



Swine
Poultry
Horses
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

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
