Animal Husbandry
Animal husbandry, also known as animal science, is the agricultural
practice of breeding and raising livestock. An outgrowth of
agricultural practices and techniques of farmers for centuries, the
commercialization of agriculture and the advances of veterinary
science during the twentieth century helped to establish a
recognized scientific discipline that is taught in many universities
and colleges and used all over the world.
Animal husbandry, as well as other forms of agriculture, has been an important aspect of economics
throughout the centuries prior to and after the Industrial Revolution. Sustainable development of world food
supplies impacts the long-term survival of human beings and all domesticated species, so care must be taken to
ensure that agricultural methods remain in harmony with the environment. Breeding animals requires adequate
care and concern for the impact of genetic modification, pollution, and hybridization on the species. The ethical
aspects of breeding animals in captivity have also become matters of greater concern as humankind advances in
awareness of its responsibility toward the environment and all living things.
The first animals to be domesticated were sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, and horses in ancient Middle Eastern
and Asian societies. The domestication of these animals marked an important watershed in the history of
agriculture, as it allowed societies to move away from hunter-gathering traditions. Early agriculturists used
animals extensively for labor, food, and raw materials, but also realized, without the help of modern
understanding of genetics, that specific breeding practices could potentially yield more beneficial traits in animal
offspring. Domestication refers to the process of taming a population of animals (although it can also be used to
refer to plants) or even a species as a whole. Human beings have brought these populations under their care for a
wide range of reasons: to produce food or valuable commodities (such as wool, cotton, or silk), for help with
various types of work, transportation, and to enjoy as pets or ornamental plants. Animals domesticated for home
companionship are usually called pets while those domesticated for food or work are called livestock or farm
animals. (Adapted from: www.newworldencyclopedia.org)

The History of Limousin
The history of Limousin cattle may very well be as old as the
European continent itself. Cattle found in cave drawings estimated
to be 20,000 years old in the Lascaux Cave near Montignac, France,
have a striking resemblance to today's Limousin.
These golden-red cattle are native to the south-central part
of France in the regions of Limousin and Marche. The terrain of the
homeland has been described as rugged and rolling with rocky soil
and a harsh climate. Consequently, the growing of field crops was very difficult at best and emphasis was placed
on animal agriculture. Limousin cattle, as a result of their environment, evolved into a breed of unusual
sturdiness, health and adaptability. This lack of natural resources also enabled the region to remain relatively
isolated and the farmers free to develop their cattle with little outside genetic interference.
During these early times of animal power, Limousin gained a well-earned reputation as work animals in
addition to their beef qualities. Rene Lafarge reported in 1698, "Limousin oxen were universally renowned and
esteemed both as beasts of burden and beef cattle." At the end of their work life these animals were then
fattened for slaughter.
Traditionally, French cattle were kept in a confinement or semi-confinement situation. However, Limousin
cattle spent the majority of their time outdoors in the harsh climate of the region. This was a source of great pride
to the breeders. The cows calved year-round, outdoors, to bring in a regular source of income and the heifers
were bred to calve at three years of age. In the winter, the entire herd was outside and whatever the season, the
cattle were handled on a daily basis. (Adopted from: www.limousin.com)

B. Grammar Spot
1. Simple Future Tense
Simple future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms
can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These
different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will
become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.
Exercise
Instruction: Complete the sentences with be going to and the words in the parentheses.
1. A: What (you, do) this afternoon?
B: I (work) on my report
2. A: Where (Alex, be) later tonight?

3. A: (you, finish) this exercise soon?

B: I (call, not) her. I (send) her an e-mail
5. A: What (Dr. Price, talk) about in her speech tonight
B: She (discuss) the economy Southeast Asia
Examples:
She would forgive you for not reading the rulebook
They weren’t going to bully us
Would he commit to this course 3 months afterwards?
Exercise
Instruction: choose the correct answer!
1. Dimas said that he … to hometown the following day. (was going to go back/were going to go
back).
2. I was sure that the employer … me after receiving my resume. (would contacted/would contact).
C. READING
Cow comfort and its effects on milk production
Certain behaviors such as eating, rumination, and lying down can be
related to the health of the cow and cow comfort. These behaviors
can also be related to the productivity of the cows. Likewise, stress,
disease, and discomfort will have a negative effect on the
productivity of the dairy cows. Therefore, it can be said that it is in
the best interest of the farmer to increase eating, rumination, and
lying down and decrease stress, disease, and discomfort to achieve
the maximum productivity possible.
Feeding behaviors are obviously important for the dairy cow, as feeding is how the cow will ingest dry matter,
however, the cow must ruminate to fully digest the feed and utilize the nutrients in the feed. Dairy cows with
good rumen health will likely be more profitable than cows with poor rumen health, as a healthy rumen will aid in
the digestion of nutrients. An increase in the time a cow spends ruminating is associated with the increase in
health and an increase in milk production. The productivity of dairy cattle is most efficient when the cattle have a
full rumen.
Cows have a high motivation to lie down so farmers should be conscious of this, not only because they have a high
motivation to lie down, but also because lying down can increase milk yield. When the lactating dairy cow lies
down, blood flow is increased to the mammary gland which in return results in a higher milk yield. (Adapted from:
en.wikipedia.org)
Based on the text, state whether these statements are true (T) or false (F). Put thick at the option you choose!
Statements T F
1 Eating, rumination, and lying down of the cows can be related to their
productivity.
2 Stress, disease, and discomfort will give bad effect to the productivity of dairy
cows.
3 By having less rumen, the productivity of dairy cows will be most efficient.
4 The cows like lying down because they do not want to produce milk.
5 When the lactating dairy cow lies down, it results in a higher milk yield.
