What does the purpose of raising animals mean?

The purpose of raising animals is to meet human needs, including food, fur, medicinal materials and so on. In ancient times, people obtained meat by raising cattle, horses, pigs, sheep and other livestock, provided power and transportation, and produced wool and fur. In modern society, with the decrease of wild animal resources, people's demand for poultry and livestock is increasing day by day to meet the needs of diet, clothing, daily necessities and medicines.

Raising animals can not only meet the needs of our production and life, but also has important ecological and environmental significance. It can help us keep the ecological balance and maintain the stability of the ecosystem. For example, cattle and sheep can help grassland vegetation regeneration and prevent grassland degradation; Chickens and ducks can control pests and reduce damage to crops. In addition, raising animals also helps to protect the survival of many endangered species. For example, people raise pandas, giant pandas and other endangered animals to protect their populations and habitats, maintain ecological balance and help us better protect and utilize natural resources.

While raising animals, we should also bear corresponding responsibilities. We should protect the welfare of animals as much as possible, give them enough food, water, grassland, space and room temperature, take preventive measures in epidemic diseases and provide a good living environment. In addition, we should reduce the burden of animals on the environment as much as possible, make rational use of animal resources, and realize low-carbon economy and environmental protection. Establish a healthy, green and sustainable feeding system, strive to improve the production efficiency of animal feeding and promote the sustainable development of agriculture.
