Meat Animals
Meat animals are domesticated livestock raised for the primary purpose of producing meat for human consumption. These animals are specifically bred and raised for their meat, which is a significant source of protein in many diets around the world. Common meat animals include cattle (beef and veal), pigs (pork), sheep (lamb and mutton), and poultry (chicken, turkey, and duck). Meat animals are typically raised on farms or ranches and undergo specific feeding and care practices to ensure optimal growth and meat quality. The meat from these animals is processed and sold in various forms, such as fresh cuts, ground meat, sausages, and deli meats.
