Abstract

This study explores the intersection of biomechanics and sustainable animal husbandry, with a focus on optimizing animal health and productivity to promote ecological breeding practices. By integrating biomechanical principles with ecological breeding strategies, we aim to enhance both farm efficiency and environmental sustainability. Through an in-depth analysis of the mechanical forces involved in animal movement, posture, and interactions with their environment, we seek to design systems that improve animal welfare and reduce stress, which in turn enhances productivity. We emphasize the role of biomechanics in creating more efficient feeding systems, ergonomic housing, and transportation methods, all of which contribute to reducing injuries and improving overall livestock management. Moreover, we propose that biomechanical models can be applied to farm operations to optimize both animal health and ecological balance. This interdisciplinary approach not only improves animal welfare but also promotes sustainable farming practices that align with environmental conservation goals. By integrating animal biomechanics with ecological breeding techniques, this research highlights the potential for more efficient, sustainable breeding practices that support both economic growth and ecological preservation, thus advancing the long-term goals of sustainable development in animal husbandry.
