"Domestic Animals" by Richard Lamb Allen is a scientific publication that thoroughly examines common farm creatures, teaching readers about their backgrounds, how to properly care for them, and how to breed them successfully. Created for farmers wanting to earn more money, the book explains how to raise animals like horses, cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, and farm dogs, while also teaching best practices for raising animals and using animal byproducts, like managing a dairy. It starts by explaining why knowing about the history of these animals and improving their breeds can lead to better care. In this way, the publication builds the basis for understanding how smart breeding, good food, and careful management can make animal farming more profitable.
