What Animals Help Farmers

November 16, 2021 by Romy

Farmers use animals and other tools around the farmland to help ensure their survival as farmers. Today we’re going to share some of the most popular animals that farmers from all over the world use as a means to help keep their farm running smoothly.

South American Farmers

Farmers in South America use dairy cows to help them collect and fertilize the soil. They do this by taking their cows out into the fields and allowing them to graze for a few hours at a time, giving the farmers time to rotate the crops and ensure that they get enough sunlight while also letting them absorb nutrients from cow feces.

North American Farmers

Dairy cows are also frequently used in North America to help farmers grow their crops. Since dairy cows can produce up to nine gallons of milk per day, they give the farmer plenty of time to sell off that excess milk and use it as a means for funding new equipment that will allow them to re-enter the agricultural industry at full force.

European Farmers

British farmers have found that dairy cows are only useful for a few hours at a time, and don’t provide them with enough free time to do other agricultural tasks. This is why they use pigs in the fields instead. Pigs love nothing more than rooting around in the dirt and playing with barn animals like chickens and rabbits. This makes them very happy and produces a lot of feces that can be used to fertilize the soil. In addition, British farmers have been known to use donkeys as a means of keeping predators away from their farm.

United Arab Emirates Farmers

In the United Arab Emirates, there are farms that grow only date palms, which require a lot of fertilizer to grow. In the past farmers had to manually collect droppings from camels and horses, but this method was very time-consuming. Nowadays, they have been known to use emu birds as a means of collecting animal feces from all around their farm.

The emu eats almost anything, including dates and grains. It then deposits them onto the ground wherever it walks. In the United Arab Emirates, farmers have been known to keep multiple emus on their farms, creating a circle of animal feces around the circumference of the entire farm. As you can imagine, this makes it very difficult for predators to get in and attack their precious crops.

What Animals Help Farmers 

While we did share some details about what animals help farmers all over the world, below are the top few animals that help farmers and what they do to ensure the farm runs smoothly:

  • Dairy cows help farmers collect and fertilize the soil with their feces
  • Pigs love nothing more than rooting around in the dirt and playing with barn animals like chickens and rabbits
  • Donkeys keep predators away from British farms
  • Emu birds are used to collect animal feces on United Arab Emirates farms.

In conclusion, animals are very important to farmers as a means of keeping their farm running smoothly. Without animals, farms would have a much harder time surviving and thriving the way that they do today.
