livestock feed

Livestock feed refers to the food given to animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens to support their growth, health, and productivity. It includes a variety of ingredients like grasses, grains, seeds, and specialized formulated feeds containing vitamins and minerals. Proper feeding ensures animals develop appropriately, produce quality meat, milk, or wool, and maintain good health. The type and amount of feed depend on the animal’s species, age, purpose, and environment. Effective livestock feeding practices are essential for sustainable farming and optimal animal performance.
