| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | The French colonists who settled in the St. Lawrence Valley in the early 17th century did not come alone. Cows, pigs, chickens and even sheep, unknown on American soil before the arrival of the Europeans, travelled with them in the ships. This phenomenon is by no means unusual in colonial history and has been the subject of several studies on New England and the Spanish possessions in Mexico and the south of the continent. The historiography of New France, however, says little on the subject. This article therefore seeks to shed some light on the domestic animals imported into the Laurentian Valley. It looks at the origins of these arrivals, lists the species involved and assesses the results of the process through the growth in the number of horses. The aim is to show the importance of livestock in the colonial settlement process, to shed light on the choices made by the rulers in this respect and to highlight a singular attitude to equids in the anthropozoological relations in the Early Modern Period. |
