Livestock and its purpose. Livestock  Livestock refers to domesticated animals that are raised and kept by humans for various purposes, including food, fiber, and labor. Some common types of livestock include cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, horses, and poultry. Livestock is an important source of food and other products for human consumption, such as milk, eggs, and leather. Livestock farming can also play a crucial role in rural economies and can provide employment opportunities for people in agricultural areas. However, livestock farming can also have negative environmental impacts, such as land degradation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. The management of livestock farming is, therefore, an important topic for sustainable development and the balance of economic, social, and environmental goals.
