Full Description

Livestock rearing has long been an essential element of India socio-economic structure. As a significant part of the agricultural sector, it serves multiple purposes, including achieving nutritional security, creating employment opportunities, and promoting socio-economic development in rural areas, particularly among landless, small, and marginal farmers, as well as women. India has a substantial livestock population with varying productive capabilities, distributed across different agro-ecological zones and different operational and livestock holding sizes. Consequently, different management practices are required for their effective handling. Moreover, challenges posed by changing development drivers and climate change necessitate specialized management strategies. Effective farm animal management involves the comprehensive and precise application of fundamental scientific principles related to breeding, feeding, housing, and disease control, both in general and in specific situations. To address these concerns, this book provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of livestock management, including basic and applied principles. The syllabus for veterinary science and animal husbandry programs has been reorganized, and this book has been divided into 15 chapters that cover almost every aspect of livestock production management.
