Livestock farming is a part of animal husbandry. Livestock often includes cows, buffalo, ox, poultry, and goat. Sustainable livelihood produces almost all kinds of food needs itself. The concept of sustainable rural livelihood amalgamates livestock farming with agriculture farming. The livestock mainly provides milk (cow, buffalo, and goat) and meat (goat and poultry). The livestock i.e., ox and buffalo utilized for ploughing and transporting.
The manure of live stocks, especially cow, acts as rich mineral fertilizer e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and also nourish agricultural soil microbes. Manure has also a diverse group of microbiota used for agriculture fertility and produces fuels such as methane biogas. Non-agriculture land produces fodder for livestock as a payoff and mitigates the environmental footprint of livestock diet and unwanted grazing. The literature claimed that the Green House Gas i.e., CH4 and N2O, emissions from livestock farming can be diminished by livestock integration with farming. Hence the integration of livestock farming with agriculture practices serves milk, meat, agricultural crop products, fertilizer, biogas, ploughing, and transportation.
