Traditional livestock rearing

Traditional livestock rearing involves raising animals such as cattle, goats, sheep, or poultry mainly for food, labor, or other products like wool and dairy. It typically occurs on farms or homesteads where animals are managed using local knowledge, indigenous practices, and natural resources. This system emphasizes sustainability, local feeds, and seasonal cycles, often incorporating small-scale farming methods. It plays a vital role in rural livelihoods, providing sustenance and income, and often sustains cultural practices. While less industrialized than modern methods, traditional rearing focuses on herd health, ecological balance, and community involvement.
