Types of animal husbandry

Pastoral grazing is a market-oriented agricultural regional type, mainly distributed in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, South Africa and other countries and regions. These areas have large areas of arid and semi-arid climate zones. These areas have sparse vegetation, which is not suitable for planting, and vast grasslands, which are suitable for grazing livestock, thus forming this agricultural regional type.

Breeding category:

Grazing plays an important role in American and Argentine pastures.

In Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, raising sheep plays an important role.

Cattle raising in pampas grassland has become an outstanding representative of grassland management in the world with its good economic benefits. Tree-free prairie

It is one of the excellent natural grasslands in the world because of its mild climate and lush grass. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the land rent is very low, which provides the possibility for the large-scale operation of pasture; The location advantage near the port promotes the commodity management of pasture. Before the arrival of Europeans, Indians were free to graze here. After the arrival of Europeans, pampas grassland was gradually divided into large grazing areas surrounded by barbed wire, and extensive self-sufficient grazing was replaced by intensive commercial livestock and cattle raising. The ranch belongs to the rancher, who used to be a free cattle herder and was hired by the rancher to herd cattle.

Argentina has a vast territory and a small population, and the beef produced is mainly used for export. Through the railway, it is convenient to transport beef cattle to port cities for slaughter and processing before transporting them abroad; The invention of the sea freezer extended the beef market in pampas to Europe. In order to ensure the development of grassland animal husbandry in pampas, Argentines take measures such as fencing grazing, rotating grazing, planting feed and drilling machines to ensure drinking water for people and livestock and water for pasture growth, so that pasture will not be degraded; On the other hand, it is necessary to raise improved cattle, strengthen the cultivation of improved cattle, and study the diseases of cattle. Animal husbandry in pampas is highly commercialized, specialized and regionalized, and has become a typical grassland animal husbandry. 1.

The earliest purebred cattle in pampas were brought by Europeans. Later, the Argentines strengthened the cultivation of improved cattle and the study of herd diseases, which has been at the leading level in the world.

2. Improve transportation conditions

A large railway across the grassland of pampas has been completed. In this way, beef cattle on the pasture can be easily transported to the capital Buenos Aires for slaughter and processing, and then transported abroad.

Turn on the water

Many motor wells have been drilled on the grassland to ensure the normal growth of pasture and provide drinking water for cattle and people.

Planting feed

When grazing, plant some forage crops or grasses to supplement the shortage of natural grasses. Dairy industry is a commercialized and intensive regional animal husbandry oriented to the urban market, which is formed with the development of the city. Its main production targets are cows, and its products are milk and its products, such as milk powder, butter, cheese and so on. The developed areas of dairy industry are mainly around the Great Lakes of North America, Western Europe, Central Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

In some areas of western and central Europe, the climate is cool and humid, rainy and foggy, and there is little sunshine, which is conducive to the growth of juicy pastures. Cows need not only succulent pasture, but also highly concentrated feed containing protein. High-quality pasture and concentrated feed crops are planted in dairy farming areas in western Europe. In terms of location selection, western Europe has a high degree of urbanization, and people have the habit of drinking milk, so the dairy industry that mainly produces milk is located around big cities, while the dairy industry that produces dairy products is far away from cities. The dairy industry in western Europe has a high degree of mechanization and special automatic milking equipment, which has alleviated the problem of labor shortage.
