CLASSES OF ANIMALS

1. The ordinary farm animals belong to the large group known as Vertebrata, or animals with a backbone.

2. Fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals all have a backbone. All of these animals do not suckle their young, but the ordinary farm animals do, and hence they are classified as Mammalia. (Mamma is the Latin word for breast).

3. The capability to produce milk is one of the distinctive features of this group. All domestic animals are divided into three main classes: herbivorous, carnivorous and omnivorous.

4. Herbivorous animals are those that live chiefly on plants. These are: cattle, deer, horses, sheep and rabbits. As they consume coarse foods, e. g leaves and stems of plants, they need considerably larger amount of common salt than is supplied by their usual feeds.

5. The cow, the ox, the sheep and the goat belong to the ruminants (animals which chew the cud). Unlike the pig, they are capable of digesting a large quantity of coarse fibrous material due to their compound stomachs.

6. Carnivorous (flesh-eating animals) such as cats, dogs, shark, etc. need no additional salt because they live on the bodies of other animals.

Omnivorous animals, such as pigs, bears, rat and others utilize both plant and animal food.
