The Animal Science Industry: Past & Present

Domestication Review Identify the correct classification for each animal description below. Animal husbandry is the art of working with livestock (farm animals).Domestication involves raising animals for a distinct purpose and controlling their breeding.Humans began domesticating animals more than 10,000 years ago beginning with dogs.Early people found animals that form large herds or flocks and eat a wide variety of feeds are easier to domesticate.Selective breeding occurred as humans got rid of animals with undesirable traits, not allowing them to reproduce. Choose one thing you learned last week about the history of animal domestication and share it in the space below. Read about the two types of Bovine (cattle species) and review the domestication of animals here: Review the Domestication Timeline from our lesson on the history of Animal Agriculture or from your notes from last week. This will also be posted under the assignment in google classroom. Sort the information provided according to how it correctly relates to each species.

The average person in the US consumed less than 200lbs (100kg) a year in the 2000s. American's consumed an average of 275lbs (125kg) of meat in the early 2000's Explain this graph in 3-4 full sentences. What trends do you notice? What do American's consume the most of? Why do certain types of meat raise or lower in consumption? What else do we get from cows besides beef? What is the major difference between an animal product and an animal by-product?
