Animal Husbandry in China and India¹

United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract

There are several reasons why our thoughts turn to livestock affairs in other parts of the world. First, there is the inquiring mind of the scientists, always seeking well-rounded knowledge of a subject. Even now, our knowledge of animal types and husbandry in some parts of the world is very limited. Second, there is our desire to take advantage of any superior types that might be useful to us, particularly in some of our less favorable environments. The use of zebu cattle in our subtropical regions is an example of this, and the possibilities along this line are far from exhausted. Finally, there is our interest in that multitude of problems that must be solved if the people of the world are to have an adequate diet and ample clothing. There is no need of recounting the importance of livestock in providing meat, milk, skins and fibers for those purposes.

¹ Presented as part of a symposium on "A World-Wide View of Animal Husbandry" at the opening session of the annual meeting of the American Society of Animal Production in Chicago, on November 29, 1946.
