Livestock animals are animals that are raised on a farm for the production of commodities such as meat, eggs, wool, fur, leather, and for labour. The term livestock was first used in the 1650s and 1660s. Since then, the terms livestock and cattle have been used interchangeably. Cattle, however, now refers to domesticated bovines, whereas livestock encompasses chickens, horses, rabbits, pigs, camels, goats, and cows, among others. Animal husbandry is the farming of economic products from these animals. Livestock farm equipment commodities include milking equipment, grooming equipment, egg handling equipment, and feed equipment. Milking equipment is pump-like apparatus used to automatically milk cows and goats. Grooming kits, hoof trimmers, and other related things are examples of grooming supplies.
