→ Produce dung which is of great importance for soil fertility.

→ Yield products such as milk or eggs for sale or own consumption continuously.

→ Recycle by-products such as straw or kitchen waste.

→ Serve as draught animals for tillage or transport.

→ Produce meat, hides, feathers, horns etc.

→ Serve as an investment or a bank.

→ Help in pest control (e.g. dugs) and weed management

      (e.g. grazing on barren fields).

→ Have cultural or religious significance(prestige,ceremonies  

→ Produce young stock for breeding or sale.

The significance of each role will vary from animal to animal and from farm to farm. It will also depend on the individual objectives of the farmer.

9 0 UFUGAJI- 9.2 - SABABU ZA KUFUGA WANYAMA

 

Wanyama wa shamba wana jukumu la kazi nyingi, kwa mfano:

→ Kuzalisha samadi ambayo ni ya umuhimu mkubwa kwa rutuba ya udongo.

→ Toa bidhaa kama vile maziwa au mayai kwa ajili ya kuuza au matumizi yako mwenyewe kwa kuendelea.

→ Sakata tena bidhaa za ziada kama vile majani au taka za jikoni.

→ Kutumikia kama wanyama wa kuvuta kwa kulima au kusafirisha.

→ Kuzalisha nyama, ngozi, manyoya, pembe nk.

→ Kutumikia kama uwekezaji au benki.

→ Msaada katika kudhibiti wadudu (k.m. kuchimba) na udhibiti wa magugu

       (k.m. kuchunga mashamba yasiyo na matunda).

→Kuwa na umuhimu wa kitamaduni au kidini (ufahari, sherehe n.k.).

→ Kuzalisha mifugo changa kwa ajili ya kuzaliana au kuuza.

Umuhimu wa kila jukumu utatofautiana kutoka kwa mnyama hadi mnyama na kutoka shamba hadi shamba. Pia itategemea malengo binafsi ya mkulima.
