Do Horticultural societies use animals to accelerate food production?

Although the definition of 'horticulture' technically includes cultivating fruits and vegetables, this definition is now barely relevant, if at all; 'horticulturists' are the flower guys, practically speaking, and 'gardeners' are the food guys--at least the 'plowed-earth' food guys.
The rise of Permaculture has altered many of the definitions in this area; however, to your question, a horticulturist or gardener would be taking advantage of some animals to 'accelerate'--or in many cases, even propagate, as many plants do not 'fruit' until pollinated--whether they instigated this or not.
A permaculturist intentionally uses these, as well as livestock, however--which many or most of the others avoid--in order to naturally 'amend' or maintain the soil to its highest potential. See the link for more.

In a pastoral society, people are nomadic and move domestic herd animals from one pasture to another. In a horticultural society, people grow fruits and vegetables in garden plots as their primary source of food.

When seed is spread naturally (or by animals) its called dispersal.When seed is spread artificially (during horticultural production) its called sowing, broadcasting is a method of sowing.
What is the difference between hunting gathering societies and pastoral horticultural societies?
Agricultural, pastoral, and foraging societies all had one goal in common: find food. Though, they went about these different ways. Agricultural, or agrarian societies are based on large-scale agricultural production made possible by plows pulled by animals. Agrarian societies are far more efficient than earlier societies and typically have a huge food surplus. This supports a complex division of labor which leads to the accumulation of great wealth by the few and considerable inequality. Pastoral societies are societies in which animals are domesticated and raised for food in pastures. Pastoral societies tended to develop in arid regions where there was insufficient rainfall to raise crops on the land. They were usually nomadic, moving on to a new area after the animals had exhausted the food supply in each pasture. Foraging societies, or commonly known as Hunter-Gatherers, generally have a passive dependence on what the environment contains. Because of this, the length of time that they stay in any one location is largely determined by the availability of food and water that is readily obtainable. They do not plant crops and the only domesticated animals that they usually have are dogs.
What major changes in means of production did the Neolithic Revolution do?
The Neolithic Revolution marked a shift from hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities. This led to the development of agriculture, domestication of plants and animals, and the establishment of permanent settlements. This change in means of production laid the foundation for more complex societies and the rise of civilizations.
What is Hunter-gatherer evolution into agricultural and industrial societies?
Hunter-gatherer societies evolved into agricultural societies around 12,000 years ago as people began to cultivate plants and domesticate animals for food. This shift allowed for settled communities to develop, leading to the rise of early civilizations. Industrial societies emerged in the 18th century with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, which introduced mechanization and mass production, transforming economies and societies.
What was the Production Budget for Animals?
The Production Budget for Animals was $5,500,000.
What happened as a result of the development of agricultural societies that used to rely on hunting and gathering?
The development of agricultural societies led to increased food production, sedentary lifestyles, population growth, social stratification, and the rise of complex societies and civilizations. It also resulted in the domestication of plants and animals, the establishment of permanent settlements, and the development of specialized labor roles.

How did crop rpration change in the agricultural revolution in comparison to earlier societies?
The Agricultural Revolution marked the transition from hunting and gathering to farming, leading to permanent settlements and an increase in food production. This allowed for a surplus of crops, specialization of labor, and the development of complex societies with new technologies. In comparison to earlier societies, there was a significant shift towards intensive crop cultivation and domestication of plants and animals.
What is the difference between a pastoral and an agricultural society?
A pastoral society relies primarily on raising livestock for sustenance and trade, while an agricultural society focuses on cultivating crops for food and resources. Pastoral societies tend to be more mobile and rely on seasonal migrations, while agricultural societies are often settled in one location and have a more stable food supply.
An early problem in agricultural societies was?
the spread of diseases from animals to humans.
Nomadic societies adapted to the elements and focused on what instead of agriculture?
Animals
