How do you appreciate the uses of cattle?

Hint: Cattle include cows and bulls which are the most commonly domesticated ungulates for humans. The most widespread species of cattle is Bos Taurus.

Complete answer:
Cattle are mainly used for the following purpose:
- For producing milk
- Bullock purpose
- Meat purpose

There are two different species of cattle in India, Bos indicus or cows and Bos bubalis or buffaloes. The milk-producing female cattle are called mulch animals or dairy animals. The cattle used for farm labor are called draught animals. Milk production by cattle is dependent on the lactation period which can be increased by selecting exotic breeds of cattle like Jersey and Brown Swiss. Disease in mulch cattle can be minimized by selecting disease-resistant local breeds like Red Sindhi and Sahiwal. The local and exotic mulch cattle can be cross bred to get the desired variety which is both disease resistant and gives a high milk output. Milk of cattle is rich in proteins and nutrients.

Cattles are also reared for meat purpose and meat of cattle is called beef and is consumed all over the world. Usually cattle are reared for milk purposes and when they stop milking then they are used for meat purposes.

Cattle are also used for bullocking purposes as they are used for transportation of goods from one place to another. They are also used in fields for tillage operations.

Note: Disease in cattle should be watched out for as both the external and internal parasites can make the animal sick which reduces the milk output and also reduces their capacity for work in farms.
Regular vaccination of cattle against both viral and bacterial diseases can ensure health in the long run.
