    Study Notes

    System and Factors Affecting World Animal Agricultural Structure

    • World animal agricultural structures are affected by various factors, including adaptation.
    • Understanding these factors is crucial to understanding how animals are useful to humanity.
    • Social and cultural norms influence food choices, animal treatment, and agricultural practices.
    • Successful domesticated species have adapted to both natural and man-made environments.

    Learning Objectives

    • Students should be able to explain the adaptation process of animals.
    • Students should be able to list five major types of environmental pressures that affect animals and describe how those pressures affect animals.
    • Students should be able to describe the climatic environments of the world.
    • Students should be able to explain the connection between climate and natural vegetation.
    • Students should be able to explain how social and cultural differences affect agriculture.
    • Students should be able to explain the links between economic and agricultural development.

    Introduction

    • To understand animal utility to humanity, we need to understand the factors affecting animal life and distribution.
    • Social and cultural norms heavily influence what people value, consume, and tolerate.
    • Domesticated animals must adapt to environments to be useful to humans.

    Adaptation

    • Adaptation is the sum of adjustments an organism makes to survive in a particular environment.
    • The environment encompasses all conditions under which an organism lives.
    • Domesticated/agricultural animals must adapt to both natural and imposed environments.
    • This ability to adapt to these imposed symbiotic interactions is essential for domestication.

    Adaptation

    • Agricultural animals must adapt to the natural and artificial environments imposed by humans.
    • This adaptability is crucial for domestication.

    Adaptation

    • The natural environment is important because agriculture is practiced within its constraints (climate, geography, altitude, feed. etc)
    • The artificial environment is affected by economic levels and cultural factors within a society, as well as efforts to control the natural environment.

    Distribution

    • Stress affects the distribution and utilization of agricultural animals.
    • Environmental stresses are classified as climatic, nutritional, internal, geographical, and social.

    Type of Stress in Animal

    • Climatic stress relates to the long-term pattern of meteorological factors affecting weather conditions such as temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, relative humidity, and wind.
    • These factors impact animal comfort and performance.

    Nutritional Stress

    • Nutritional stress relates to the quantity and quality of available feedstuffs.
    • It is often influenced by climatic factors such as temperature and rainfall..

    Internal Stress

    • Internal stress includes problems impacting an animal's health, like pathogens and toxins, from gaining entrance into the body.

    Geographical Stress

    • Geographical stress involves non-climate factors specific to a geographic location (e.g., altitude and terrain).
    • Examples of animals affected by altitude include Chiru antelope, Yak, Tibetan wild ass. etc.

    Social Stress

    • Social stress results from interactions with other animals, including those of the same species.
    • Social stresses are also strongly linked to human interactions.

    Artificial Environments

    • Humans create artificial environments for animals to best serve human needs.
    • The specific nature of these environments depends on their purpose (e.g., food production, transportation, religious use).

    Adaptive Changes

    • Individual animal adaptation is divided into three categories.
    • Morphological adaptation involves changes to an animal's form or structure.
    • Physiological adaptation deals with changes to the body's biochemistry.
    • Behavioral adaptations include learned or genetically induced responses to the environment

    Morphological Adaptation

    • Morphological adaptation is a structural change that enhances an organism's chances of survival in their habitat.
    • Examples include desert animals like fennec foxes and camels, and flying animals such as bats.

    Physical Adaptations

    • Camouflage involves shape, color, or pattern, helping an organism blend into its environment.
    • Protective color enhances blending into particular environments (e.g., snow animals).
    • Protective resemblance involves an organism matching the shape, color, and texture of its environment.

    Behavioral Adaptation

    • Behavioral adaptations are actions that help animals survive in their specific ecosystems.
    • Examples include pack behavior for hunting and protection found in certain species like wolves.

    Climatic Environments of the World

    • Tropical climates are located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
    • The main climatic variation in the tropics is rainfall patterns.
    • Tropical climates consist of humid and subhumid areas, based on how long the rainy season lasts.
    • Dense rainforests of the humid tropics limit agriculture.
    • Extreme heat poses issues for animal agriculture in all tropical areas.
    • Diseases and parasites add hurdles to introducing/domesticating new animals.

    Climatic Environments of the World - Deserts

    • Limited rainfall and heat hinder livestock production in semi-arid areas.
    • Parasites and insects are also a problem, though less prevalent than in humid areas.
    • High winds erode dry, overgrazed land, causing desertification.

    Climatic Environments of the World - Cold/Temperate Climates

    • Cold climates are limited by cold stress and food availability.
    • Temperate climates are highly productive agricultural regions.
    • Most developed countries include at least some temperate climate areas.

    Social and Cultural Differences - Religion

    • Religion influences livestock numbers, contact with specific animals, and consumption choices.
    • Religious food laws often reflect commonsense approaches to maintaining food quality (e.g., halal, kosher).

    Social and Cultural Differences - Levels of Agricultural Development

    • Agricultural development is categorized into developed, subsistence, and primitive systems.
    • Developed systems have a small portion of the population dedicated to farming, highly specialized units, and mechanized production.
    • Subsistence systems have a larger portion of the population engaged in farming, and focus on farm families meeting their own needs with a small surplus.
    • Primitive agriculture requires most of the population to produce their own food, with little excess.

    Social and Cultural Differences - Levels of Agricultural Development

    • Developed agriculture characteristics include a small farming population, specialization, and high mechanization.
    • A high per capita income and literacy rate often correlate with developed agriculture.

    Social and Cultural Differences - Levels of Agricultural Development (Subsistence)

    • Approximately half the population participates in subsistence agriculture.
    • Farm families mainly consume their own production, with a small surplus.
    • Subsistence farming typically uses minimal mechanization and relies on hand and animal labor.
    • Per capita income and literacy rates are usually lower in subsistence areas.

    Social and Cultural Differences - Levels of Agricultural Development (Primitive)

    • Primitive agricultural systems rely on almost the entire population for food production.
    • Surplus food production is rare or non-existent, leading to food scarcity and low nutrition levels.
    • Minimal mechanization and animal power are features of primitive systems.
    • Extremely low per capita income and literacy rates frequently correlate with primitive agriculture.

    System Classification (Table 4.1)

    • The table categorizes agricultural styles in areas with primitive, subsistence, and developed agriculture, noting their goals and systems.

    Commercial Farming

    • Commercial farming involves farmers producing agricultural products to sell in the marketplace.
    • Commercial farming types, such as mixed crop and livestock, ranching, dairy, and large-scale grain production, are typically found in developed countries.

    Commercial Farming - Mixed Crop and Livestock

    • Mixed crop and livestock farming typically involves growing crops to feed the farmed animals, and using manure as fertilizer.
    • Crops and animal products provide most of the income in these farms.
    • These farms often practice crop rotation.

    Commercial Plantation

    • Plantation agriculture focuses on large-scale land holdings and labor to grow specific crops for the market.
    • Important plantation crops include fruits, coffee, tea, spices, sugar, fiber, cacao, rubber, and vegetable oils.
    • Plantation systems are often owned by governments or corporations.

    Urban Agriculture

    • As urbanization grows, urban agriculture is developing.
    • Urban agriculture is practiced on backyards, along roadsides, on rooftops, in public areas, and using hydroponics.

    Livestock Integrated Fish Farming

    • Techniques like integrated fish farming utilize animal waste (e.g., from ducks, pigs, cattle) to increase plankton in ponds, benefiting fish.
    • Fish and milk/dung are products of this integration.

    Poultry-Fish Integrated Farming

    • Poultry waste is rich in phosphorus and nitrogen, benefiting fish farming.

    Duck-Fish Integrated Farming

    • Ducks consume juvenile aquatic pests, providing a safe environment for fish, and their droppings provide nutrients.

    Summary and Conclusion

    • Agricultural animals must adapt to various pressures for human use.
    • Cultural, economic, and religious factors influence animals and plants.
    • Economic development and institutions shape agricultural systems.
    • Understanding global systems provides better perspectives on our own practices.
