4 Livestock Products Food Livestock and poultry provide humans with fresh meat, milk, cheese and eggs daily These products help provide humans with the essential nutrients required for the proper growth and development of the body
5 Livestock Products Clothing Wool and leather from hides can be made directly into clothing for humans to wear Although using raw wool and leather isn t as common in the U.S., it still is a common practice in other parts of the world
6 Livestock Products Shelter The raw leather hides can also be used for shelter, again not as common in the U.S. but is still used in other parts of the world Power Many underdeveloped countries still rely of animals as their method of power to complete work
7 Livestock Products Recreation In the U.S. many livestock animals are used for recreational purposes such as rodeos and horseback riding Manure In many underdeveloped countries dried manure is used as a source of fuel for cooking and heating homes In the U.S. manure can be used as raw materials for methane gas biodigesters producing fuel
8 Livestock By-Products Wool and Leather Raw wool and leather can be processed into refined products that are sold by retail stores Candy and Chewing Gum Animal fat is used in the process of making candies, tree gums are also popular
9 Livestock By-Products Gelatin Horns, hooves, bones and hides are all processed and refined to produce gelatin.
