The animals themselves, not the people using it. A cow is the name for female cattle, male chicks get killed early, and the horseback empires were run mainly from atop of mares.

The basis of animal husbandry is reproductive control. If an animal cannot be bred in captivity in great amounts, they cannot be effectively exploited

this is actually why i've never been sure we've domesticated cats. sure, the designer breeds, yes. but the average barn cat/stray cat/feral cat/wild? cat mix? nah, we've never had reproductive control over them.
