hello my friends in addition to millions of cattle of popular breeds such as Angus Hereford Holstein or naguni currently many cattle farms in the United States and some African countries also raise Longhorn cattle for the purpose of harvesting meat milk or raising for conservation in recent years the most famous Longhorn cattle breeds can be mentioned as the Angola cattle or Texas Longhorn in addition the English Longhorn is also a well-known and popular longhorned cattle breed in the north of the United Kingdom from the Great Plains of the United States to the tribal lands of Africa
Longhorn cattle symbolize resilience great adaptability and Timeless Beauty foreign we are currently located in the western region of Uganda this is where the largest concentration of Angola Longhorn cattle ranchers are in Africa like most other livestock lands in the world each morning these ain't calling Longhorn cattle will be released from the barn and go into the pastures to feed freely it is estimated that there are currently nearly 7.3 million and cola cuddle raised in Africa and they are mainly distributed in East Africa especially countries such as Uganda Rwanda or Kenya well they are of cultural
and economic importance according to the grazing habits of farmers in East Africa herds of dozens or even hundreds of individuals are usually only grazing pastures up to three miles from the farm in addition to helping Farmers easily control their livestock another reason why herdsmen and their herds don't have to travel too far is because natural food sources in this area are abundant and readily available foreign is a culturally well-loved cattle breed in Africa the encola is not the continent's most popular cattle breed for decades the zebu has always been the most popular cattle breed raised
in Africa it is estimated that at present the number of zebu cattle in Africa maybe more than 300 million individuals Longhorn cattle are common only in East Africa and their name comes from the ancolo people an ethnic group living mainly in the western regions of Uganda and parts of Rwanda on average an adult male and cola usually weighs around 1100 pounds and the average weight of a female is only around 800 pounds compared to Angus Cattle raised in the United States the weight of Angola Longhorn cattle is about 30 percent lighter thank you in the
grazing pastures of Uganda Farmers often store water for their livestock by building rainwater tanks or digging small canals to channel water in the late afternoon when the sun has gradually turned off the incoli herds will be herded into the barn to rest because there are no Predators around these Farms the construction of the barn is also done rather simply and it does not have a roof most herders here just need a place to gather their herds close to where they live about every three days the farmers will burn straw or other materials to create smoke
in the barn to control insects and other parasites in addition they say this helps reduce the stress of animals in tight conditions when the ancolate longhorn cattle are eligible for meat production they are taken to cattle markets and then sold to slaughterhouses it is estimated that 2.7 million and Coley Longhorn cattle are slaughtered each year for their meat more than 60 percent of these cattle are raised in the western regions of Uganda we say goodbye to the plains of Africa now we will go to several states in the United States to see how Farmers here
raise tens of thousands of Texas Longhorn cattle according to USDA statistics by the end of 2022 there were about 273 000 Texas longhold Cattle being raised in the United States and of course many of these cattle are raised on farms in you guessed it Texas foreign like many other cattle breeds race in the United States Texas Longhorn cattle are raised for their meat and cross breeding however the most striking feature this long-haul cattle breed brings to America is its historical and cultural significance many ranches in the United States claim that they often raise Texas Longhorn
cattle to preserve and honor the heritage of the American West in addition these Longhorn cattle serve as a symbol at the frontier era only about 45 000 Texas Longhorn cattle are slaughtered in the United States each year and meat extraction is only performed on the mature cattle all carbs of this breed are kept until they are at least 18 months old currently the ranch with the most Texas Longhorn cattle is a ranch in Hill County Central Texas this Ranch has about 420 Longhorn cattle and each year between 100 and 130 of these Texas Longhorns are
sold for meat production and for entertainment or exhibition purposes which breed of Longhorn cattle are you most impressed with let me know what you think in the comments section of the video hello my friends farming is not only affected by mammals like wild rabbits wild pigs or rats every year Australian farmers and ranchers suffer significant damage from millions of wild birds from the parrot family currently there are 56 species of parrots living in most areas of Australia with an estimated number of more than 17 million individuals among them are the gala cockatoo the sulfur crested
cockatoo a rainbow lorikeet and the budgerigar and these are some of the most popular parrot breeds on the continent there are flocks of parrots that number in the dozens and even hundreds and they can appear where you live in addition to making annoying noises they can also harm crops such as grain crops fruit trees and nut trees in addition parrots can also nest in inappropriate places like the recesses of your roof having dozens of parrots in your backyard also causes pollution due to the hundreds of piles or droppings they leave behind these aren't Gala cockatoos
they are believed to be the most numerous of all parrots living on Mainland Australia in the wild the gala is found in a wide variety of habitats from arid Hinterlands to wooded areas in addition this bird is also commonly seen in urban and Suburban areas of cities this is a cattle ranch in marinoa County Southwest Queensland around this area is also a home to a flock of Gala cockatoos with a number of nearly 300. galars often have a habit of eating grass and nuts each day hundreds of glass often fly to this far in search
of water and food unfortunately this is usually used for livestock and includes corn as well as some other seeds the appearance of these noisy birds causes a lot of discomfort to the people working on this cattle farm they not only appear around cattle and poultry Farms though galars also frequently form large flocks and flights of fields of wheat or barley to feed galaza often attracted to crops that are in the milk or past stage as soon as the seating process is completed these noisy birds May emerge to eat some kind of seed imagine what happens
when you have a field of wheat ready to be harvested when suddenly hundreds of galahs come from nowhere to enjoy a free meal on your Dome foreign parts of Australia the breeding phase of the gala takes place from July to December each year and in the southern regions the breeding period for this bird usually lasts from February to July during each breeding season of a cockatoo pear usually only two to three eggs are successfully hatched however once a young bird is an adult they can live up to 25 years in the wild or up to
70 years when kept as pants if you start keeping a Gala as a pet right now chances are you'll be the one to say goodbye to this world sooner than your pet it is estimated that there are more than 4 million galahs living in the entire territory of Australia each year this noisy bird costs Australian grain Farmers about 173 million dollars in damage to their crops to control the population of Galas some localities in Australia have used measures such as culling or trapping all controls must be in place in accordance with Australian Wildlife laws to
ensure that these birds are treated humanely it is estimated that adopting measures to control the Glass cost the Australian government nearly 4 million dollars a year if you're an Australian like me tell us what negative impact the galars have had on your life in addition to the Galas budgies are also a parrot species found in abundance in Australia and the negative impact this small bird has on agriculture in this country is significant in the wild budgies usually live in flocks of about 100 individuals however the number of budgies in the flock can increase to several
thousand after the rainy season ends the reason for the rapid increase in the number of budgies in a flock after the rainy season is at this time the rapid growth of vegetation provides more food and nesting material foreign that lives in flocks budgies have always been considered the favorite prey of birds of prey such as Falcons in most areas of Australia in the places where bungees live are also home to flocks of Falcons however with an estimated population of nearly 5 million the impact of birds of prey on the number of budgies in Australia is
negligible is estimated that only about 1.3 percent of budgies in Australia die each year due to the impact of predators and other factors such as disease or hunting in most areas of Australia the breeding season for budgies usually lasts from September to February of the following year however this bird can also completely stop breeding for a year if the weather conditions are too dry or there is a lack of nesting material after about six to seven weeks these young birds will be ready to leave the nest and after each breeding season the number in a
colony of budgies usually increases to about 13 to 17 times the original number like most other parrot species in Australia budgies also have a habit of eating nuts and Grains a flock of parrots with hundreds or even thousands of them will cause significant damage to fields of wheat or soghum they're about to enter the Harvest period in addition Fruit Farms such as bananas or mangoes are also a favorite place for a flock of budgies in the wild adult budgies need to drink water at least seven times per day therefore small water holes in arid regions
of Australia are often a place where you can easily see the appearance of these small birds in some cases where budgies cause damage to crops or other resources Australian landowners or agricultural authorities may take measures such as trapping scaring or shooting to control the populations foreign overall the impact of millions of parents in Australia on agriculture is quite significant especially on small farms however compared with other pests such as feral pigs or wild rabbits the impact of parrots in Australia on agriculture is only a very very small part
