HistoryoftheCow DomesticcattledescendedfromaurochsinEurope and thegaurinAsia, began to bedomesticatedbetween 5,000 and 6,000 yearsago, serving as a beastofburdenorprovidingmeat, milk and leather. It was unusual to raise cattle for food. The animal was eaten only if he died or was no longer useful to load or to provide milk. Like the goat, also served as beasts of burden, but needed more pasture. Today, however, cattle are widely used for meat production. The meat production chain involves several business sectors, ranging from the manufacture of food and education of qualified professionals (Doctors veterinarians, agronomists) to consulting firms in foreign trade systems.

  4. Cows’sRaces • In addition to the races that made much quantitative and geographic expansion, as indicated above, there are thousands of indigenous breeds as a result of selective pressures on a specific or genetic isolation in places where it flourished. Many of these breeds are extinct or endangered result of globalization and competition from more productive breeds. Among the indigenous breeds are: • Ramo Grande dos Açores; • Arouquesa, de Aveiro; • Alentejana, do Alentejo; • Minhota ou Galega; • Maronesa, região da Serra do Marão, Trás-os-Montes; • Barrosão ou Cachena, da região do Barroso e da zona do Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês; • Gravonesa; • Brava; • Mirandesa; • Jarmelista ou Jarmeleira, região da Guarda; • Mertolenga, Mértola.

  5. USES • This species has been domesticated by humans and is exploited for the production of milk, meat and skin (leather) and also as a means of transport and pack animals. And the bones are recovered, for the manufacture of flour, soap and animal feeds. The hull and the horns have different uses and ear hair are used for making artistic brushes. The males of certain breeds may also be used as entertainment in rodeos and bullfighting.

  7. Conditicionsoftransportacion • Offer ideal animal comfort for maximum performance; • Identify the main characteristics of a high producing cow (udder, poise and ability to ingestion); • Adopt proper management to prevent metabolic disorders; • Understanding the variations in food intake during lactation; • Develop efficient management to maximize production at peak lactation and prolong the persistence of lactation.

  8. The meat for human consumption • Because beef is widely consumed in various parts of the world, particularly in countries of Latin origin, is sold in pieces, steaks, ground with the variants of names given to each type of meat cut from certain regions of the bull / cow. • Thus we have the following cuts: • Front • Rib • Rear • Kidneys

  9. Howtheylive … • The cows generally live in a place called dairy, here they sleep and eat hay and feed. At milking time, is also in this space, immediately adjacent or another, this operation is performed • The cow is a mammal with udder has four teats, so the milk is extracted. Currently, almost all the milking is done mechanically, although some people, who have few cattle, usually do so in the traditional way, by hand. • During the day, good weather, the cows go to pasture, grazing peacefully for some weed and do some exercise.

  10. ProductionandCowLongevity • Production:A cow produces on average 20 liters of milk per day, with animals from high-quality breeds, which can take up to 30 L. • Longevity: A cow can live about 15 years and weigh 600 kg.
