Animal science is the branch of animal husbandry concerned with animal breeding, genetics, nutrition, and management. Animals raised as food for humans has been practiced for thousands of years (for at least 12,000 years; since the advent of animal husbandry) and currently more than 56 billion land animals are raised annually as livestock, poultry or fish. The term can also be used to describe the practice of using animals for any purpose. Animal agriculture is a widely debated topic in ethical philosophy and economics. Many experts have questioned the efficiency and sustainability of current Western agricultural practices in relation to alternative, often less destructive methods like permaculture. New approaches to raise live stock also require “fewer” animal feed and find other sources of energy to power tractors and transport. (The picture is taken from Wikipedia public domain)
