Content:
Breeding is a process of bringing forth younger ones. It is also known as reproduction. Reproduction is the process whereby living things bring forth young ones that look like their parents. Breeding and reproduction are essential for continuous existence of live stocks so that they will not go into extinction.
What are the classification of farm animals based on their mode of breeding
There are two categories of farm animals based on their mode of reproduction which are
- Mammals (viviparous farm animals)
- Non-mammals (oviparous farm animals)
Mammals are animals that give birth to live young ones and feed their young ones with milk from their mammalian glands. Most mammals have hair all over their bodies and they are warm blooded animals. Mammals are viviparous animals. Example are man, goat, sheep, cow, donkey etc
Non-mammals (oviparous farm animals) are animals that do not give birth to live young ones. They lay eggs. Most oviparous animals are reptiles, birds, fish or amphibians.
