The most common farm animals vary depending on the region and type of farm. However, some farm animals are universally prevalent and play essential roles in agriculture. Here’s a list of some of the most common farm animals:

• Cattle – Cattle are raised primarily for milk and meat production. Dairy cows are bred for milk production, while beef cattle are raised for meat. Cattle are also used as draft animals in some areas.
• Pigs – Pigs are raised for meat production, providing pork, ham, and bacon. They have a high feed-to-meat conversion ratio, making them efficient livestock to raise.
• Sheep – Sheep are primarily raised for wool production, but they also provide meat (lamb and mutton) and milk. Sheep are adaptable to various climates and terrains, making them a popular choice for farmers worldwide.
• Goats – Goats are versatile animals raised for milk, meat, and fiber (mohair and cashmere). They are hardy and adaptable, able to thrive in a variety of environments.
• Chickens – Chickens are raised for both meat and egg production. Broiler chickens are bred for meat, while laying hens are raised for egg production. Chickens are a popular choice for small farms and backyard flocks due to their relatively low maintenance and space requirements.
• Turkeys – Turkeys are raised primarily for meat production, especially in North America. They are often associated with holiday feasts, such as Thanksgiving in the United States.
• Ducks – Ducks are raised for meat and egg production, as well as for their down feathers, used in bedding and clothing. Some duck breeds, like the Indian Runner, are also used for pest control.
• Geese – Geese are raised for meat, down feathers, and eggs. They are also used as “guard animals” on some farms due to their protective nature and loud honking.
• Horses – While not primarily raised for food, horses have a long history of use in agriculture as work animals. They have been used for plowing, transportation, and other tasks. Today, horses are more commonly associated with sport and recreation.
• Rabbits – Rabbits are raised for meat, fur, and sometimes as pets. They have a high reproductive rate and efficient feed-to-meat conversion, making them a popular choice for small-scale farming.

These are just a few of the most common farm animals found globally. Other animals, such as donkeys, mules, llamas, alpacas, and buffalo, are also raised on farms, depending on regional preferences and farming practices.
