இலாபம் கொழிக்கும் ஆடு வளர்ப்பு

மனிதன் முதன் முதலில் வீடுகளில் வளர்க்கத் துவங்கிய பிராணி ஆடு ஆகும். இது ஏழைகளின் பசு என்று அழைக்கப்படுகிறது. 

ஏனென்றால் ஆட்டின் இறைச்சி மிருதுவானதாகவும், குறைவான கொழுப்புச் சத்தையும் கொண்டுள்ளது. எனவே இது எல்லோராலும் விரும்பி உண்ணப்படுகிறது. ஆட்டிறைச்சியின் விலை உயர்வாக இருந்தாலும் அதன் தேவை அதிகரித்துக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறது.
