چکیده
In the country, livestock is firmly integrated into the economic structure of farm and village life. Livestock raising is being recognized as a key element which contributes to rural income and to the efficient use of the available resources in the rural sector. The raising of farm animals is still on a small scale basis since it is intimately tied-in with farmers' activities and way of life. Cattle and carabao are mainly raised for draught purposes and as source of cash in time of needs. Also, these animals offer a means whereby crop products and farm residues as well as native vegetation in uncultivated areas are converted into meat, milk, hides and other by-products.
