Game farming is a method of farming that uses wildlife species as livestock instead of domesticated animals. Professional game farmers often sell surplus livestock to manage the population as these animals are mostly kept in large enclosures which do not house predators. Furthermore, the farmers introduce new animals so that the gene pool is managed to ensure a healthy population. Selective breeding can ensure that the farmer receives healthy returns on auction and in the hunting industry. Some farms also cater for ecotourism and the venison industry.
