  4. Bell Work! In your opinion how do animals comfort people? What is a working/service dog? What role do animals have in your family’s life?

  5. Caviar Companion animal Dairy cattle Game Hide Leather Meat animal Mohair Service animals Terms

  6. Interest Approach • Name different roles animals play in the lives of humans. • Pets, transportation, food, service, etc. • Think about how animals play a role in your life.

  7. Student Learning Objectives 1. Identify ways animals provide food for people. 2. Identify ways animals provide clothing for people. 3. Identify other ways animals help people.

  8. What are some ways animals provide food for people? • Meat can come from animals that are raised on farms or ranches or it may come from wild animals. • A meat animal is an animal raised especially for its meat. • Some of the animals that are raised for meat include cattle, fish, turkeys, chickens, swine, and sheep. Horses are used for meat in some countries.

  9. Milk is primarily from cattle. Cattle specially grown to produce milk are called dairy cattle. Goats and a few other animals are sometimes milked.

  10. Eggs are primarily from chickens. A few other species may produce eggs for human food, including guineas and ducks. Some people enjoy fish eggs, known as caviar.

  11. Wild animals are not included in livestock, they are known as game or wildlife. Wild animals used for food include deer, elk, rabbit, quail, and fish. Game is wildlife hunted for food or other uses.

  12. What are some ways animals provide clothing for people? • Livestock provide fiber and skins for the production of clothing. • This clothing is made from many different animals by-products. • A by-product is a product made from the parts of the animal that are not used for food.

  13. Animal by products!

  14. The demand for animal fibers for clothing is lower now because of the increased use of synthetic fibers for clothing. Some animals are raised specifically for products to make clothing.

  15. Some of the most common are mink for their fur and certain breeds of sheep raised primarily for wool. Although other animal fibers are decreasing in demand, the use of wool in the United States has been almost constant for the past ten years. A special quality cloth is made from mohair, a product of angora goats.

  16. Clothing may be made from animal skin (hide) or hair. Bones, antlers, and other animal parts may also be used. The prepared skin of animals is known as leather. 5 to 10 % of the market value of animals comes from the sale of hides.

  17. What are some other ways animals help people? • Some functions of livestock benefit all of society, other functions are important mainly to individual farms. • The functions of livestock are a vital part of the total agricultural industry of the nation; in addition to food and clothing, there are several other ways that animals help people.

  18. Some of them are: Companion-ship and pleasure Service Conservation

  19. Companionship and pleasure—Companionship and pleasure are important to people. A companion animal is an animal that provides benefits that help people enjoy life. Most common examples are dogs cats, and ornamental fish.

  20. Some animals are used for sporting events. Horseback riding is a major source of recreation and pleasure for many people.

  21. Service—Service animals are animals that assist people in living and work. They are used in many ways and may be given special training. Dogs may be used to lead visually impaired people, herd sheep, or guard property.

  22. Some animals are carefully used in laboratories for finding new medicines to cure human diseases. Dogs in police canine units are helpful against crime.

  23. Conservation—Livestock help conserve soil and soil fertility. The grasses and legumes that are used to feed livestock are soil-conserving crops; they form protective covers on the land and help to prevent wind and water erosion.

  24. Nutrients are removed from the soil by the crops being grown; when the crops are fed to livestock, about 80 percent of the nutrient value is excreted in the manure. By putting the manure back on the soil, the rate of loss of soil fertility can be decreased.

  25. Stabilize Farm Economy—Livestock help bring stability to the farm business. Raising livestock makes good use of the resources already available to farmers—land, labor, capital, and management ability—and can increase the farming income.

  26. Including livestock in a farm business helps to spread the risks involved in farming over more enterprises. Therefore, the farmer is not dependent on only one or two sources of income. Also both labor and income are spread more evenly throughout the year.

  27. Review/Summary • What are some ways animals provide food for people? • What are some ways animals provide clothing for people? • What are some other ways animals help people?
