Grade 6- Rearing Small Domestic Animals- Agriculture

Domestic animals are animals reared at home. They have various uses at home.

They grow and some produce healthy products hence they need proper care and attention.

 Rearing small domestic animals requires small pieces of land compared to big domestic animals such as cattle, donkey and camels.

Small domestic animals can therefore be reared even in urban areas where space is limited.

In addition, small domestic animals multiply very fast hence provide a continuous source of income when they are sold.

They also require less labour to raise compared to the large domestic animals.
