Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries

Description

Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries is intended primarily as a text for the basic course in animal industries, especially farm animals. It should prove useful as a reference book for those involved in livestock production. Animal husbandry is the management and care of farm animals by humans for profit, in which genetic qualities and behaviour, considered to be advantageous to humans, are further developed. The term can refer to the practice of selectively breeding and raising livestock to promote desirable traits in animals for utility, sport, pleasure, or research. The study attempted in this book pin points the effects of dairying on rural development through the socio-economic changes among the dairy households; the nature, magnitude and dimension of dairy development. A fishery may involve the capture of wild fish or raising fish through fish farming or aquaculture. These topics will be discussed in detail in this book.
