How are we able to feed our huge cattle population on this pasture land and what are the consequences of it?
Answers
Cattle population is fed on decreased area of pasture lands by deforestation to acquire new pastures and utilising modern technology to procure animal feed. The consequences of decreased pasture lands are the increasing strains placed upon farmers practicing animal husbandry, declining productivity of cattle and diversion of forest lands for grazing.
Answer:
We are actually unable to feed our huge cattle population on this decreased land area of pasture land sufficiently and this has resulted in deforestation and overgrazing owing to clearing of forests to make them pasture lands .
EXPLANATION:
Cattle population is fed on decreased area of pasture lands by deforestation to obtain new pastures and using modern technology to obtain animal feed.
The consequences of decreased pasture lands are the growing strains, farmers practicing animal husbandry, declining cattle productivity and diverting forest lands for the purpose of grazing.
Pasture lands have declined and put tremendous pressure on prevailing pasturelands. Consequently, there is a problems with getting good quality and optimal quantity of livestock fodder.
Some of the existing pasture lands are not fit for cultivation due to poor quality. And the cultivation costs are extremely high in other existing pasturelands and are thus only cultivated once or twice in 2 or 3 years.
