Livestock & Animal Agriculture
📋 What it is
Farm animals provide food and materials — and their care, feed and welfare are a science too.
🗣️ Coach says
Livestock (cattle, poultry, pigs, sheep) give us meat, milk, eggs, wool and more. Raising them well is a science: the right FEED, clean water, disease prevention, and good WELFARE (space, comfort, low stress) keep animals healthy and productive. How we raise animals also affects land and climate.
🧠 Memory hook
Livestock give food + materials. Good farming = right feed + health + welfare (space, comfort, low stress).

The worm felt unappreciated, but it really was the backbone of the soil ecosystem — or at least the spine.
😲 Whoa!
A single dairy cow can produce around 30 litres of milk a day — enough to fill about 120 glasses — which is why herds are managed with careful science.

Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.

Animal health depends on feed, care and welfare.
