Traditional practices include, producing not only the food needed by the family but also the fuel, fertiliser, clothing, transport and draught power.

Sustainable livestock farmers use a wide variety of practices, not only to raise animals humanely, produce better products and provide a living for themselves and their families, but also to build soil and sequester carbon, mitigating the effects of greenhouse gases. At the heart of sustainable livestock production is well-managed pasture, forest or rangeland, where animals can move and graze freely. Raising livestock on pasture is labor intensive and expensive, from pasture and farm management to securing reliable processing facilities. The resulting products (including meat, milk and eggs) are more expensive as well. For those able to pay a premium, each purchase represents a worthy long-term investment in a dramatically different food system that is healthier, not only for consumers, but for pasture-based livestock farmers, animals and the environment. What Is Pastured Livestock? The industrialization of agriculture separates what is otherwise a closed-loop, renewable cycle. In a sustainable farming system, the needs of one element are met by the wastes of another: for example, animal manure builds the soil, replenishing nutrients used by crops that are fed to animals. 1 Industrial agriculture, however, artificially divorces animals from plants, creating problems of depleted soil on the one hand and excessive animal wastes in toxic amounts, on the other. Pasture-based livestock farming reintegrates the cycle, putting livestock on grass or in another natural environment ...

Aurelia Schütz 1*, Winnie Isabel Sonntag 1, Inken Christoph-Schulz 2 and Ivica Faletar 2 • 1Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, University of Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany • 2Thünen Institute of Market Analysis, Braunschweig, Germany In recent years, farm animal welfare has become an important issue from both an animal science and a societal perspective. Moreover, livestock production is increasingly associated with negative consequences for human health, the environment, and the climate. Thus, there is clear evidence that a more sustainable focus in animal husbandry is needed. However, this is a complex and challenging task, as different stakeholders and emerging trade-offs regarding sustainability need to be considered. For example, outdoor climate housing systems may be socially valued and bring benefits to animal welfare, but at the same time may be detrimental to the environment, the climate, human health, or even animal health. With regard to a sustainable, future-oriented transformation of animal husbandry, it is crucial to identify potential trade-offs and to evaluate them from not only a scientific perspective, but also a societal perspective. Therefore, the aim of this study is to find out how citizens assess the importance of various aspects of livestock production from different goal categories (e.g., ensuring animal welfare vs. environmental or climate protection), as well as within the category “ensuring animal welfare” (e.g., good hou...

Good animal husbandry practices benefit farmers by: (I) Increasing the yield of animal products such as milk, eggs,meat etc. (II) Proper health care keeps the animals healthy which otherwise takes lots of time and money to nurse diseased animals. Therefore, good animal husbandry practices increases the production of animal products which increases the profit of farmers.

According to the FAO, Livestock play a major role in sustainable food systems—for example, manure is a critical source of natural fertilizer, while livestock used as draft animals can help boost productivity in regions where there is low mechanization. Livestock are important assets for vulnerable communities. Globally, around Increasing incomes, changing diets, and population growth have led to increased demand and made The transformations that accompany growth are an opportunity to move the livestock sector toward more sustainable development and improved contribution to human diets. Productivity levels and practices can be managed in ways that address adverse impacts on land, water, and the environment, as well as the risks posed to animal and human health. Currently, th...

Quick Facts Farm management includes skills such as: basic husbandry, nutrition, communication, preparation, adaptation, evaluation, attention to detail and establishing a farm culture. • Basic husbandry creates hydrated, clean, dry, low-stress animals. • Clear communication facilitates preparedness and adaptation. • Adapting when things don’t go as planned is dependent on your knowledge of the system. • Plan to measure outcomes to determine success. • Creating a positive environment with shared goals makes for an easier workday. Management is a general term that can mean something different to everyone. Management often refers to the day-to-day operations of the farm and is pointed to as the most important predictor of success. UMN Extension views the following as the components of sound livestock and farm management. Livestock management Basic animal husbandry • Water, shelter, cleanliness and low-stress handling are all components of basic husbandry. • Animals are healthier and more productive when they are hydrated, clean, dry, and handled with minimal stress. • Water is without question the most important nutrient and should be accessible for all animals at all times. • Shelter doesn’t always mean a roof overhead, a well maintained bedded pack and a windbreak can mean shelter as well. Animals need protection from the elements in some way. • Cleanliness prevents disease, promotes animal comfort, and instills a sense of pride in your operation. • Low-stress handling is ...
