LIVESTOCK
Livestock is commonly defined as domesticated animals raised 
in an agricultural setting to produce labor and commodities 
such as meat, eggs, milk, fur, leather, and wool. The term is 
sometimes used to refer solely to those that are bred for 
consumption, while other times it refers only to farmed 
ruminants, such as cattle, sheep and goats.[1] Horses are 
considered livestock in the United States.[2] The USDA classifies 
pork, veal, beef, and lamb (mutton) as livestock and all livestock 
as red meat. Poultry and fish are not included in the category.

ETYMOLOGY
Livestock as a word was first used between 1650 and 1660, as 
a compound word combining the words "live" and "stock".[9] 
In some periods, "cattle" and "livestock" have been used 
interchangeably. Today, the modern meaning of cattle is 
domesticated bovines, while livestock has a wider sense.[10]
United States federal legislation defines the term to make 
specified agricultural commodities eligible or ineligible for a 
program or activity. For example, the Livestock Mandatory 
Reporting Act of 1999 (P.L. 106–78, Title IX) defines livestock 
only as cattle, swine, and sheep, while the 1988 disaster 
assistance legislation defined the term as "cattle, sheep, goats, 
swine, poultry (including egg-producing poultry), equine 
animals used for food or in the production of food, fish used 
for food, and other animals designated by the Secretary."
HISTORY
Animal-rearing originated during the cultural transition to settled 
farming communities from hunter-gatherer lifestyles. Animals are 
domesticated when their breeding and living conditions are 
controlled by humans. Over time, the collective behaviour, lifecycle 
and physiology of livestock have changed radically. Many modern 
farm animals are unsuited to life in the wild.
The dog was domesticated early; dogs appear in Europe and the Far 
East from about 15,000 years ago.[13] Goats and sheep were 
domesticated in multiple events sometime between 11,000 and 
5,000 years ago in Southwest Asia.[14] Pigs were domesticated by 
8,500 BC in the Near East[15] and 6,000 BC in China.[16] 
Domestication of the horse dates to around 4000 BC.[17] Cattle have 
been domesticated since approximately 10,500 years ago.[18] 
Chickens and other poultry may have been domesticated around
