What does it mean to build livestock in dense habitats?

Livestock breeding refers to the construction of huts (huts) for poultry and livestock to live in.

Broadly speaking, domestic animals refer to domesticated animals, including all kinds of domestic animals and poultry, including silkworms, bees and domestic fish farming. Domestic animals in a narrow sense refer to domesticated mammals. Generally speaking, six domestic animals refer to horses, cows, sheep, chickens, pigs and dogs.

The Paleolithic period was dominated by hunting and gathering economy, and the level of productivity was extremely low. It is difficult for ancestors to have the consciousness of domesticating animals. With the development of production economy, hunting and gathering economy has become an auxiliary economy, and human beings have begun to settle down. After overproduction, domestication of livestock began to develop. It can be said that livestock raising is closely related to private ownership and human settlement life, which reflects the development of agricultural economy from one side.

By the middle of Neolithic Age, animal husbandry had developed. For example, during the Dadiwan culture period, among the 12 animal bones unearthed in Baijia Village, pigs, buffaloes, dogs and chickens were all domestic animals, and pigs were the most. At that time, the scale of domestic pig breeding was large, and buffalo was second only to domestic pigs. Judging from the size and shape of bones, it is obviously different from wild buffalo, so it is a domestic buffalo.

There are records of "killing the dragon family" and "obeying the dragon family" in Historical Records Xia Benji, "obeying the family to frighten the beast" in Zhou Li and "keeping the beast as a beast" in Huainanzi, which all reflect the domestication process of animals. In the middle of Neolithic Age, chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep and other animals have been domesticated into livestock and poultry, which has become an important supplement to prehistoric agricultural economy.
