Livestock Biodiversity
Livestock Biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of different animal species and breeds that are raised for agricultural purposes. This includes domesticated animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep, and poultry, as well as lesser-known species like alpacas, water buffalo, and guinea fowl. Maintaining livestock biodiversity is important for ensuring genetic diversity within populations, which can help increase resilience to diseases, environmental changes, and other threats. Additionally, preserving different livestock breeds can help safeguard unique traits and characteristics that may be valuable for future breeding programs or research purposes.
