Activity related to livestock production, and constitutes an essential sector within agricultural activities, which in turn are constituted as primary activities within the economy.

Like any primary activity, the objective of the livestock sector is the production of raw materials, as well as the agricultural sector, for the production of primary foods (vegetables, fruits, etc.). Livestock activities have been carried out in different parts of the world, but since ancient times. Both livestock and agriculture, which are aimed at producing food, have been extremely necessary for humanity and for its survival. The cavemen were excellent hunters, and the meat of the animal to eat was vital, as well as the leather of the animal to be able to make clothes and coats.

Livestock is undoubtedly one of the most important sectors within agricultural activities and also belongs to the primary sector of economies. The secondary sector has among its occupations transforming raw materials into manufacturing and the tertiary sector for its part consists of services.

As with all primary economic activities, the objective of the livestock sector is the production of raw materials.

From the earliest times, livestock farming has developed throughout the world. The man primitive practiced it to feed and survive well, and so took the opportunity to seize the leather and animal skin to protect themselves and protect themselves from the cold and other inclement weather. Hunting was the methodology used by these ancient men to provide food and shelter.

They are also activities of fundamental importance for the food sustainability of human beings around the world, not just their own, and that is why some of those responsible for the activity become exporters par excellence.

There are countries like Argentina that have a wide agricultural field to exploit and that turns out to be the main economic activity and the one that contributes the highest percentage of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to the nation. In the last century, this great preponderance that Argentina had acquired in this sense made it apply the motto of "granary of the world", which many like to apply today.
