Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 1 Pre-Vocational Studies, Agricultural Science. In our previous lesson, we learned about Uses Of Farm Animals for Basic 1. Today, we’re going to learn about the Uses of Farm Animals for Transportation.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- List at least 3 uses of farm animals for transportation.

Uses of Farm Animals for Transportation
Farm animals have been used for transportation for centuries. They provide a valuable service, especially in areas where motorized vehicles are not readily available.
What are some of the ways farm animals are used for transportation?
There are many ways farm animals are used for transportation, and they are:
- Riding: Animals like horses, donkeys, and camels are ridden for transportation. Horses are often used for riding and pulling carriages, while donkeys are used to carry goods and people over short distances. Camels are well-suited for desert environments and are used for carrying people and goods.
- Pulling: Animals like oxen, buffaloes, and reindeer are used to pull carts, plows, and sleds. Oxen are often used to pull plows and carts, while buffaloes are used in some countries for pulling heavy loads. Reindeer are used in some cultures to pull sleds through snowy landscapes.
- Carrying: Animals like elephants and donkeys are used to carry heavy loads and people. Elephants are known for their strength and can carry large amounts of goods or people. Donkeys are also used for carrying loads, especially in mountainous or hilly areas.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about the Uses of Farm Animals for Transportation, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
