| description | People worldwide use mainly five animal species for milk production: buffalo, camel, cow,
goat and sheep. For meat production, the milk producing species are used and also the
additional species pig, poultry, rabbit and horse. Cow produces most milk in the world and the
largest quantity of meat is produced of pig. Asia has the biggest animal population for all
species except camel of which Africa has the most. Where in the world you find a specific
animal species depends on the climate, conditions for animal production, religion, culture and
economy. The big animal population in Asia can be explained by dense human population and
favorable climate. The most common production system for meat production is landless
system and the largest share of the milk in the world comes from rain-fed mixed croplivestock
farming system. There are also grass-land based production systems which is most
common in developing countries. It is not easy to describe the exact distribution of animals in
the world because the statistics are insufficient. |

Människor världen över använder huvudsakligen fem djurarter för produktion av mjölk: buffel, kamel, ko, get och får. För köttproduktion används även de mjölkproducerande arterna samt gris, fjäderfä, kanin och häst. Kor producerar största kvantiteten mjölk i världen och den största mängden kött kommer från gris. Asien har den största djurpopulationen för alla arter utom kamel som Afrika har fler av. Det som påverkar vilka djur som finns var i världen är klimat, förutsättningar för animalieproduktion, religion, kultur och ekonomi. Asiens stora djurpopulation kan förklaras av tät befolkning och gynnsamt klimat. Det vanligaste produktionssystemet för köttproduktion är så kallat jordlöst system och största delen av världens mjölk kommer från naturligt bevattnade kombinerade växtodlings och boskapsskötselsystem. Det finns också produktionssystem som baseras på betesmarker och dessa är vanligast i utvecklingsländer. Det är inte så lätt att exakt beskriva fördelningen av djur i världen eftersom statistiken är ofullständig.
