How does animal husbandry contribute to improving food resources?

Asked by Ananya Kapoor · 2 years ago

I am confused about how animal husbandry plays a role in improving food resources. Can someone explain this in the context of Class 9 syllabus?

1 Answer

Animal husbandry involves the breeding and care of farm animals. It contributes to food resources in several ways:

  • Milk Production: Animals like cows and buffaloes provide milk, which is a significant source of nutrition.
  • Meat Production: Animals such as chickens, goats, and pigs are raised for their meat, which is an important protein source.
  • Egg Production: Poultry farming provides eggs, another essential part of the diet.
  • Manure: Animal waste can be used as manure to improve soil fertility, which in turn enhances crop production.

Thus, animal husbandry supports food resources both directly and indirectly, making it an integral part of agricultural practices.
