1. Cattle, is the most widespread and numerous non-poultry species.
2. There are over 1.4 billion cattle in the world.
3. The five major cattle owning countries are, India, Brazil, U.S., China, and Ethiopia.
4. The major beef producing countries are the U.S., Brazil, and China.
5. Cattle genus is Bos and the species is either taurus or indicus.
6. The indicus species is often prevalent in hot and humid areas because they are adequately adapted to the environment that these areas may present.
7. Developed agriculture, specialized cattle production, and profit are all connected because if an area is more developed, they will have more specialized uses for their animals, which encourages production for a profit.

One problem with trying to establish a developed dairy industry in developing countries using improved breeds of cattle is that natives do not feed supplemental feed to their cows including introduced breeds. This leads to a low production output of the introduced breeds. Another problem is that the environment (health, climate, etc.) is not ideal for the cattle.
10. Major range beef countries include:
a. U.S.A.
b. Australia
c. Canada
d. South Africa
e. Brazil
f. Argentina
g. Mexico
h. Uruguay
i. Colombia
11. Range beef herds are managed extensively so that they are able to increase profits by reducing labor costs.
12. Meat, is a major product that dairy cattle produce in developed agriculture. Their meat is harvested in “salvage” circumstances and extra heifers/bull calves are also used for meat.
13. Major products that cattle produce in subsistence agriculture include:
a. Milk
b. Meat
c. Leather
d. Manure
e. Power
14. More dual purpose cattle are used than triple purpose cattle in subsistence agriculture when the agriculture becomes more developed leading to different animals uses.
15. Uses in cattle in primitive agriculture include:

b. Status symbol
c. Transportation
d. Manure for …show more content…
The world is producing cattle at a steadily increasing rate. However, Europe is not following the trend. Europe is decreasing in production, this might be because of the exponential growth of the poultry industry.
20. Africa and Asia produce so much less beef from their cattle when compared to the U.S. because they do not have the technological advances that we have and their cattle are used for other purposes besides meat as well.
21. In developed agriculture, cattle have specialized uses such as dairy cattle and beef cattle. These are the most common purposes in developed agriculture. In subsistence agriculture, the cattle are commonly used for work, milk, meat, leather, and manure for fertilizer. In primitive agriculture, some common purposes for cattle include milk, storage of capital, manure, and transportation.
22. The top 5 milk producing countries are the U.S., India, China, Russia, and Brazil. The top 5 countries in milk cows are India, Brazil, Sudan, China, and Pakistan. These lists do not match because some of the countries with a high number of milk cows are less developed and lack the technology to produce milk at a high yield. Another reason is that the cattle might also have other purposes besides producing
