Presentation Transcript

  1. Animal Science Framework Presentation Mr. Sullivan

  2. The five Major Types of Livestock in the United States: • Poultry: chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, game birds, and squab (pigeons) • Swine: pigs • Bovine: cattle • Ovine: sheep • Equine: horses • (Goats)

  3. The Major Geographical Regions of Production • Chicken production is divided into two sections: Broiler and Egg • Broiler production is led by Georgia, Alabama, and Us (Arkansas)

  4. Geographical Regions of Production (continued) • Turkeys are scattered out from the Pacific region, across the western part of the North Central Region, and in the South Atlantic Region

  5. Geographical Regions of Production (continued) • Swine: pork production is predominant in the states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Nebraska

  6. Geographical Regions of Production (continued) • Bovine: the most production comes from the southern and western states

  7. Geographical Regions of Production (continued) • Ovine: the leading states in production are Texas, California, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Oregon

  8. Geographical Regions of Production (continued) • Equine: horses are everywhere; however, there are not as many now as before 1929.

  9. The Importance of Livestock to the United States Economy • The average person in the United States consumes 48 pounds of beef, 29 pounds of pork, and 24 pounds of poultry each year. • We consume more meat than any other nation.

  10. Products Obtained from Livestock • Food/ Drink • Clothing • Tools/ Equipment
