A currently available DNA test developed for testing on other breeds provides a basis forĭetermining whether an animal is or is not a carrier of this particular strain of double muscling.ī. Breeders – no reportaron más animales afectados con dobre musculoĪ. the affected calf was parent-verified to the bull and dam at issue.ī. they aid greatly in improving the quantity/quality of the diets of humanĪ. > 2/3 of animal food consists of substances that humans can’t eatĪnimals can convert inedible plant materials to human foodĪ. Sure, HOWEVER, this inefficiency only applies to those plants and plant products that the Vegan argument: “It’s more efficient to just eat plants directly, we can’t sustain animal ag

Plants supply > 80 % of the total calories consumed in the worldĪnimals supply 1/3 of the protein consumed in the worldĬ. although they rank well behind plants in total quantity of food supplied Most important contribution of animals = FOOD Manure = helps improve soil fertility = aids the plants.ī. Utilize another renewable resource (plants) to produce these products and services. Provide food, shelter, fuel, fertilizer and other products and services Why do we have livestock at all? Don't they just eat the food that would be better utilized by being given If treatment becomes unavailable, this breed might be very important for the sheep Has a natural resistance to internal parasites Have higher milk production levels than Holsteins in the tropical regions of thatĮXAMPLE 2: Increased need for natural resistance to diseases/parasites in case a treatment stops

It is their word and the breeders common usage is what we must accept as the correct definitionĪ. a term which arose among breeders of livestock, created one might say, for their own use, and no one is warranted in assigning to this word a scientific definition and in calling the breeders wrong when they deviate from the formulated definition.
