Farm Animals

CatGut (typically a form of suture material) is made mostly from sheep or goat intestine's, but it can be made from cattle, swine or equine intestines. However CatGut is prone to causing infections at the suture site unlike synthetic materials such as nylon and is therefore considered an inferior product be most people.

The alpaca,in the Andes, is the animal raised for its fine wool .

Pairs of curassow birds are monogamous and breed from late winter to spring, depending on the region. Incubation periods for the curassow bird are 28 - 29 days.

The oldest known animal was Harriet, a Giant Galapagos tortoise taken from the Galapagos Islands by naturalist Charles Darwin in 1835 as a personal pet during his five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle. On that voyage was naval officer, John Clements Wickham. After studying Harriet whilst formulating his theory of evolution, Darwin handed the tortoise on to Wickham when the latter sailed for Brisbane to take up a post as police magistrate. Over the years, the tortoise was carefully tended, and in 1958, was moved to naturalist David Fleay's wildlife park on the Gold Coast. She was moved to Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast in 1987 where she enjoyed celebrity status until her death on 23 June 2006.

Ostriches, emus, kiwis, and penguins to name a few.

Yes they can.As they grow their color pattern can change. It can change up to 5-6 yrs.old.

Cattle, a herd, or kine (archaic)

horses have a great sense of direction and sense of everything there eye sight is fine but in the dark their eye sight is like any of us dull and quite weak.

Answer 2:

Horses see far better in the dark than humans do and can easily navigate in the dark. Being able to see at night is a key attribute to most prey animals.

Goslings are baby geese and do not make much sound when they have just hatched. However, they honk like adult geese after a while.

First you get a brush called the curry comb and brush the horse in small round circles to get itchy hair off, then you use a different brush to go in streaks left to right/corner to corner on the spots after you used the curry comb, finally you take a special stick to pick the dirt out of the horse's hoves

well animals that live on farms are normally cows, horses, pigs, chickens, goats, bunnys, sheep, herding dogs, and that's all i can think of.

On The Farmland there are usually a amount of animals. Such as Chickens, Cows, Pigs, Goats, Horses, Bunnies, Cows and Herding Dogs (Sheep Dogs ) but even sometimes Guinea pigs and little animals like that.

Farming practices that go against the grain of what is normally done in the farming world. No-till seeding is an example of a non-conventional way of farming, as is grass-finishing lambs and cattle.

Presumably, this is how it happened. If you think about it, you can see a likely course of events. Early humans were nomads who followed herds of animals that provided them with meat, tools and skins. Eventually they may have realised that by blocking their paths or running to scare them, they could alter the path the animals took each year, such as driving them to where they knew they would find a good campsite. Eventually this would have extended to barring off many exits to keep the animals in one place for longer. It's easy to see how these barriers could have become a fence to contain the herd. Domestication would have followed as a logical step because animals that are tame and trust humans are less dangerous and easier to manage. Non-food domestic animals were probably domesticated in a different way. When humans started building permanent settlements due to the development of grain farming and domestication of herd animals, rodents were drawn to the large stores of grain that were set aside for winter. It is understandable that a child, finding a nest of small, wriggling pinkies, may have decided to keep one as a pet. Cats were drawn by the rodents. It is unsure how they may have been domesticated, but since cats do not hunt with humans it is likely that they were domesticated to be pets and not partners. Cats are naturally affectionate, particularly if they have known human contact since they were kittens, and it is easier to imagine each successive generation of barn cats becoming more tame. It is even easier to understand if you consider that humans would have been grateful to the cats for killing the rodents that were damaging their grain stores. Dogs were domesticated much earlier, in some parts of the world well before large herd food animals. Dogs are intelligent and equipped to hunt, but do not require much food. They are savage and capable of protecting the nomadic human, and also of providing him with food. In lean times, wolves would hang around the human camps, hoping for scraps of meat, or even human faeces which a dog can still obtain nutrition from if it was desperate. Obviously the human would not care if the dog ate discarded bones or human waste. Again, it is easy to imagine each successive generation of wolves becoming more used to humans, venturing closer, perhaps being touched by an inquisitive hunter or his child, maybe nuzzling a woman as she cooked dinner hoping for scraps. This process would have been hastened if the dog ancestors were deliberately captured when young because the humans saw their use as hunters. Horses were first domesticated as food, and nobody knows for sure when humans started riding. There are skeletons thousands of years old that indicate bevelling on the molars, caused by a piece of rope passed through the diastema - the earliest known bit. Humans may have ridden a horse earlier than this, either for the sheer exhilaration without trying to control it, or controlling it only with their feet and hands. The saddle was a late development, and the stirrup came even later, not invented until the Mongolian army of Genghis Khan. I'm not sure when humans realised that horses were suitable for hauling loads, but oxen were mainly used for farm work for a long time because they were stronger until draught breeds were developed.

No animal has four stomachs. All animals that live on Earth only have one stomach. Most herbivores, except equines and those of the rabbit/hare families, have four chambers in their stomachs, such as cattle, antelope, deer, elk, bison, buffalo, moose, giraffes, etc.

Hoof horn growth is approximately 1cm per month. This all depends on the conditions in which the horse is living. Warm, moist weather my cause the hoof to grow faster; cold, dry conditions slow the growth down.

Shoats are young pigs.

Barrows are castrated male pigs.

Gilts are young female pigs.

Breed type is one of the big deciding factors, rather than whether it is a first-time litter. Nutrition and environment also play a big part.

Traditional breeds (native breeds which have not been selectively bred for commercial purposes, e.g. Tamworth, Gloucestershire Old Spots, Berkshire etc) tend to have smaller litters - often six to eight.

Wild boar litters vary from two to six.

Commercial or "modern" breeds (Landrace, Pietrain, and cross-breeds) can have many more - often 20+. Litter sizes can increase as the sow gets older. Generally, cross-breeds produce bigger litters.

They can plow fields so the ground is soft to plant food in, also they are a good source of learning how to take care of an animal. They also but not likely are used for food in different countries.

None, since they do not get or have a job to make money like humans do. Making income or profits as far as money is concerned is a human trait, not a farm animal trait.

But as far as raising and selling animals is concerned in order for the producer to make money, chickens is the farm animal that generates the most income for farmers. However, a purebred beef breeding herd can generate more income than a chicken farm because purebred beef animals can sell for quite a bit.

There are three types of horse/pony "rentals": A trail ride horse, a school pony, and a lease horse For a trail ride horse, go to a vacation ranch like Sunriver Resort in Oregon or the Alisal Ranch in California. They take about 10-30 guests out at a time on a ride through meadows and woods. The horses are trained to walk in a single file line and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the scenery. These horses are usually about 20 years old and a bit cranky but do their jobs. At a training stable, you can borrow a school pony when you go to take a lesson. A school pony is usually about 15+ years old and is safe and has solid training. They are called school horses/ponies because they teach you how to ride. An hour long riding lesson is $20-$60 depending on where you live. It costs around $100-$300 a month to lease a horse, or half the horse's monthly costs. That entitles you to ride the horse 3 days a week. Lease horses are generally athletic, well bred, expensive horses that the owner leases out to offset some of his/her costs. Leasing a horse is usually not very cost efficient. Leasing is often used as a trial run for owning a horse of your own. my daughters would love to ride for joy and fun

Not all cows do. Holsteins are naturally horned, so their horns need to be trimmed or cut before their horns get too big, which is when they are a few months old if horn buds can be seen or felt. However, other cows can be born polled or hornless and do not need to have their horns trimmed. The naturally polled breeds of cattle include Angus, Red Angus, Brangus, Red Brangus and Galloway.

Horns is a recessive gene in cattle, so if a horned cow mates with a polled bull, the offspring will be polled. But mating horned with horned produces horned offspring, or hetero polled with hetero polled have a 25% chance of producing horned offspring.

Kinda. Like some of the younger friskier ones will run around, but all 3 guinea pigs I have none play with toys. They are pretty much all lazy they are the perfect cuddling animals.Ssometimes I sleep with mine - I'll take naps with them.

I think united states is the most to abuse animals. I think united states is the most to abuse animals.

Actually an animal has to have a stomach to live or else i would not be able to digest food through the stomach and if it had no teeth it would have to have strong jaws to chew up food or eat smooth food like soft food
