Answer» Solution :Animal husbandry is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock. As such it is a vital skill for farmers and is as much science as it is art. Animal husbandry deals with the care and breeding of livestock like BUFFALOES, cows, pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, camels, goats etc. that are useful to humans. Extended, it includes poultry farming and fisheries. Fisheries include rearing, catching, selling etc. of fish, molluscs (shell-fish) and crustaceans (prawns, CRABS etc.) Since time immemorial, animals like bees, silk-worm, prawns crabs, fishes, birds, pigs, cattle, sheep and camels have been used by humans for products like milk, eggs, meat, wool, silk, honey etc. It is estimated that more than 70 per cent of the world livestock population is in India and China. However it is surprising to note that the contribution to the world farm PRODUCE is only 25 per cent. i.e., the productivity per unit is very low. In ADDITION to CONVENTIONAL practices of animal breeding and care, newer technologies also have to be applied to achieve improvement in quality and productivity. From first animal husbandry has been a part of development in human civilization development. Today also it is a necessary element which is important for producing food for human kind. A professional approach to what have been traditional practices of farm management gives the much needed boost to our food production. |
