Training Institute For Technical Instruction(TITI) Sanothimi- Bhaktapur, Nepal Ruminants(cattle, sheep and goats) were the first food animals to be domesticated followed by pigs, possibly to dispose of table scraps and waste products. Horses and cattle were domesticated primarily for transportation and draft work purposes.
Early people found animals that form large herds or flocks and eat a wide variety of feeds are easier to domesticate. 05/26/2017 Krishna Aryal
