FARM ANIMALS

Transcript: Farm Animals The Main Farm Animals are: PIGS COWS SHEEP GOATS CHICKENS HORSES COWS Cattle are herbivores that eat vegetation such as grass. Cattle stomachs have four chambers which help break down what they eat There are well over 1 billion cattle in the world. Cattle are sacred in India. There are an estimated 300 million cattle in India. Young cattle are generally known as calves. Adult females are generally called cows. Adult males that are not castrated are generally called bulls. Cattle are red/green color blind. In the sometimes controversial sport of bull fighting, bulls are angered by the movement of the cape rather than its red color. Cattle are farmed for a number of agricultural products including meat and dairy products. Meat from adult cattle is known as beef. Meat from calves is known as veal. Sheep There are over 1 billion sheep in the world. China has the largest number of sheep in the world. Adult female sheep are known as ewes. Adult male sheep are known as rams. Castrated adult male sheep are known as wethers. A group of sheep is known as a herd, flock or mob. Young sheep are called lambs. Sheep have a field of vision of around 300 degrees, allowing them to see behind themselves without having to turn their head. Sheep are herbivores that eat vegetation such as grass. The digestive system of sheep features four chambers which help break down what they eat. Sheep like to stay close to others in a herd which makes them easier to move together to new pastures. In 1996, a sheep named Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from a somatic cell. Domesticated sheep are raised for a number of agricultural products including fleece and meat. GOATS FACTS ABOUT GOATS 1. Goats were the first animals domesticated by man in 10,000 B.C 2. The phrase Judas goat is a tern that has been used to describe a goat that is trained to herd other animals to slaughter while its own life is spared. 3. Most goats can be found in Asia and the Mid-East. 4. Goats were the first animals to be used for milk by humans. 5. There are over 210 breeds of goats in the world. 6. There are approximately 450 million goats around the world. 7. Goats were first brought to America by Columbus in 1493. 8. Goats were regularly imported into America in the early 1900’s. 9. The female goat is called a “doe” or “nanny.” 10. The male goat is called a “buck” or “billy.” CHICKENS HORSES Horses can sleep both lying down and standing up. Horses can run shortly after birth. Domestic horses have a lifespan of around 25 years. A 19th century horse named ‘Old Billy’ is said to have lived 62 years. Horses have around 205 bones in their skeleton. Horses have been domesticated for over 5000 years. Horses are herbivores (plant eaters). Horses have bigger eyes than any other mammal that lives on land. Because horse’s eyes are on the side of their head they are capable of seeing nearly 360 degrees at one time. Horses gallop at around 44 kph (27 mph). The fastest recorded sprinting speed of a horse was 88 kph (55 mph). Estimates suggest that there are around 60 million horses in the world. Scientists believe that horses have evolved over the past 50 million years from much smaller creatures. A male horse is called a stallion. A female horse is called a mare. A young male horse is called a colt. A young female horse is called a filly. Ponies are small horses. PIGS Facts about pigs: Pigs are intelligent animals. Like humans, pigs are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and other animals. A pig’s snout is an important tool for finding food in the ground and sensing the world around them. Pigs have an excellent sense of smell. There are around 2 billion pigs in the world. Humans farm pigs for meat such as pork, bacon and ham. Some people like to keep pigs as pets. Wild pigs (boar) are often hunted in the wild. In some areas of the world, wild boars are the main source of food for tigers. Feral pigs that have been introduced into new areas can be a threat to the local ecosystem. Pigs can pass on a variety of diseases to humans. Relative to their body size, pigs have small lungs FARM ANIMALS Fun facts about Cows 1 ) The chicken, Gallus gallus domesticus, is a domestic subspecies of the red junglefowl, a member of the pheasant family that is native to Asia. Genetic studies have found that the grey junglefowl also contributed to the chicken’s evolution. 2 ) This bird was probably first domesticated for the purpose of cockfights, not as food. 3 ) Chickens aren’t completely flightless—they can get airborne enough to make it over a fence or into a tree. 4 ) These birds are omnivores. They’ll eat seeds and insects but also larger prey like small mice and lizards. 5 ) With 25 billion chickens in the world, there are more of them than any other bird species. 6 ) There are dozens of chicken breeds, such as the Dutch bantam, leghorn and Rhode Island red. 7 ) Baby chickens are chicks. Female chickens are pullets until they’re old enough to lay eggs and become hens.
