The diverse domestic pig breeds included in our analyses all show distinct dental phenotypes, most likely resulting from a combination of different selective pressures brought about by specific husbandry practices/selection processes and specific local environments.
Animal husbandry is the process by which animals are domesticated and maintained in healthy populations.
Some scientists think that this introduction, and the corresponding development of agriculture and animal husbandry, were gradual processes that lasted for a thousand years.
Pastoralists have been part of an ongoing modernization and rationalization process of animal husbandry with increased mechanization, which has made more extensive pasturing possible (Jaren and Løvstad 2001).
One important reason for the long rationalization process of animal husbandry was the persistent policies since 1728 for "the eradication of all useless and harmful" wildlife in order to enable increased livestock production (Sandberg 1999).
In this paper, we address refugees' agency towards recovering camel husbandry, the conditions that permitted this process to occur and come to fruition, as well as the transformations in camel husbandry that are emerging, focusing on the case of Sahrawi refugees living in camps near Tindouf, in western Algeriab.
For millennia, changing a breed's genetics through husbandry required a long trial-and-error process.
Jobs include farming, forestry maintenance, timber processing or animal husbandry.
Land use like reindeer husbandry has shown to strongly affect relationships between ecological processes like tree-growth and climate.
The unexpected harvest demands a ritual, an elegy performed as a domestic art of preservation: the daughter selects the best, unbruised fruit and bottles it; the process in turn becomes a symbol of narrative husbandry, as she gathers stories to feed herself and others, on behalf of the past and against the future.
