Animal Husbandry

The area of agriculture that deals with raising animals for meat, fibre, milk, or other goods is known as animal husbandry. It covers routine maintenance, selective breeding, and animal rearing. The first domesticated animals were brought under human control during the Neolithic Revolution, circa 13,000 BC, long before the first crops were farmed. Early civilisations like ancient Egypt had farms where they bred cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs.
