1. Read and translate the text. Domestic Animals

Domestic animals are kept for the production of human food. Besides, the skin of animals, down and feathers of poultry, the wool of sheep, goats and camels are used as raw materials to produce leather, clothing, etc.

The most important group of domestic animals is formed by the cattle. Cattle can be roughly subdivided into draft cattle, dairy cattle, beef cattle and dual purpose cattle.

Draft cattle (oxen as a rule) have almost everywhere been replaced by agricultural machinery. Dairy cattle (cows) provide dairy products (milk, butter, cream, cheese, etc.). Beef cattle are the producer of beef. Dual purpose cattle give us both milk and beef.

Important sources in producing human food are also sheep-breeding, hog-raising, rabbit-breeding and some other minor branches.

Sheep provide not only mutton and dairy products (cheese for example); the wool and skin of sheep are valuable raw materials for producing clothes. There are accordingly 2 main types of sheep-breeding; for wool and for mutton. There is also a medium breed: the wool-mutton breed.

The production cycle of hogs (swine) is much shorter that that of cattle or sheep. Hog-breeding gives a vast range of food products: ham, bacon, lard, etc.

The poultry include hens, geese, ducks, turkeys and some other fowls. Poultry provide meat, eggs, down, and feather.

Rabbit are bred for meat, and their fells find an application in producing clothing.
