-'''Animal Husbandry''' is a [[Technologies|technology]] that revolves around the management and care of domesticated animals for various purposes, as a fundamental aspect of rural society.  The primary animals raised through husbandry include [[Cattle (domestic)|cattle]], [[Sheep |sheep]], [[Swine|pigs]], [[Fowl|chickens]], [[Horse (domestic)|horses]], and [[Goat|goats]], among others.  Livestock are typically kept in close proximity to settlements in pens, pastures or barns.

 __TOC__
 Breeding is essential to maintain and improve desired traits in animals.  However, selective breeding techniques are limited, mainly relying on natural mating and some rudimentary selection based on observed characteristics.  Feeding animals largely depends on available natural resources like grazing lands, crop remnants and forage.  Supplementary feeding with grains or other foodstuffs is also common, especially during harsh seasons when natural resources are scarce.
-Sheltering animals is important for protection from harsh weather conditions and predators. Basic shelters or enclosures are constructed using local materials such as wood, thatch or stones.  Animal husbandry practices are often shaped by traditional knowledge passed down through generations and are influenced by local customs, climatic conditions and the availability of resources.  The understanding of animal health and veterinary care is scant indeed, relying mainly on observation and traditional remedies.

	A refinement of plough technology takes place in the [[High Middle Ages]], from the 11th to the 13th centuries. The introduction of the heavy wheeled plough features an iron ploughshare, offering a sturdy construction equipped with a wheeled frame that supports the ploughshare — a metal blade responsible for cutting and turning the soil. This significantly enhances the plough's ability to penetrate and turn the earth, even in dense or compacted soils; the durable metal component allows for deeper furrows and more efficient soil preparation, breaking up hardened ground with greater ease. The wheeled design not only provides stability but also facilitates smoother movement across the field, reducing resistance and effort required by the operator or draft animal. As a result, farmers can till larger areas of land more effectively, preparing the soil for planting with improved precision.
