Considering the latitudinal distribution of animal husbandry in the world, it is located between 30°N to 60°N and 30°S to 55°S latitudes. Climate is one of the most influencing factors in the development of animal husbandry. It is more developed in the Northern Hemisphere. Presence of grasslands in Australia and North and South America has led to distribution of this occupation. But, this occupation is influenced by advanced technology market and availability of large estates. It has developed on a commercial basis in North America, South America and Australia. The animal husbandry in North and South America is carried out with the help of advanced technology on a commercial scale. Dense forests, inhospitable climate, low quality fodder in equatorial region has discouraged the development of animal husbandry in these regions. |
Questions:
- In which latitude, world distribution of animal husbandry is found?
- Which hemisphere has maximum development of animal husbandry?
- Which factor affects animal husbandry in Australia and South and North America continents?
- Which continents have maximum mechanization of animal husbandry in the world?
