Food-producing farm animals, especially ruminants such as cattle and sheep, have the unique capacity of being able to keep the co-products of arable product processing that are not consumed by people as food or drink, or used to produce biofuels or other industrial products, in the food chain. As a result, the livestock sector makes a vital contribution to the circular economy. This benefit is generally overlooked and these elements of agricultural production are often unknown.
