What are the aspects
of animal husbandry?
Answers
Answer:
Animal husbandry is the scientific management of animal livestock. It includes various aspects such as feeding, breeding and disease control.
Animal-based farming includes cattle, goat, sheep, poultry and fish farming.
a)
Proper
cleaning and shelter facilities for cows and buffaloes are required for
humane
farming, for the health of the animals and for production of clean milk
as well. Animals
require regular brushing to remove dirt and loose hair. They should be
sheltered under
well-ventilated roofed sheds that protect them from rain, heat and
cold. The floor of the cattle shed needs to be sloping so as to stay
dry and to facilitate cleaning.
The food
requirements of dairy animals are of two types: (a) maintenance
requirement, which is the food required to support the animal to live a
healthy life, and (b) milk producing requirement, which is the type of
food required during the lactation period.
Cattle
suffer from a number of diseases. The diseases, besides causing death,
reduce
milk production.
Vaccinations are given to farm
animals against many major viral and bacterial diseases.
b) Exotic or foreign breeds (for example, Jersey, Brown Swiss) are selected for long lactation periods, while local breeds (for example, Red Sindhi, Sahiwal) show excellent resistance to diseases. The two can be cross-bred to get animals with both the desired qualities.
