The first
thing that you say is: “What is animal husbandry?” Animal
Husbandry is raising and breeding of livestock.
Why do we need a Haven Helper who plays with animals? Unless you want to eat oatmeal and cereal for
as long as you are in the Haven (years!!!) you will need protein in order to
retain your strength and vitality.
The
livestock raiser will be dealing with: ducks, chickens, turkey, geese, rabbits,
fish, goats and of course worms. The
ducks will be kept for their ability to debug the garden without eating the
garden, so slugs beware. Also the ducks
can lay up to 80 eggs a year. Never
heard of duck eggs? All of French pastry
chefs use duck eggs in their creations.
Chicken, Goose, and turkey are beneficial for any kitchen. Rabbits are known to multiply and a great source
of protein. Also the rabbits create manure
which the worms turn in worm casings which go onto the garden which is three
times better than cow manure. The worms
feed the fish who fertilize the plants that grow thru hydroponics. The
goats provide protein and milk which can be hand processed into butter and
cheese.
The Animal
Husbandry Helper will be helping with the diet for all of the animals and the
fish. The health of each animal will
also be the responsibility of this helper.
The breeding and animal production will be very beneficial to the health
and the spirit of the Haven. Remember
helpers (man) cannot live on bread alone.
There will
also be dogs in the Haven for companionship, alerts, and protection. They will also need help with diet and
health. So do you feel that you have
what it takes with your knowledge of animals and fish to take on this project? Please feel free to post your information on
