Explanation:
there are 3 Types of Animal Husbandry
There are four major types of animal husbandry practiced in the world today:
Dairy Farming
Dairy farming is the agricultural technique concerned with the long term production of milk which is then processed to obtain dairy products such as curd, cheese, yoghurt, butter, cream, etc. It involves the management of dairy animals such as cows, buffaloes, sheep, goat, etc.
The animals are taken care of against diseases and are inspected regularly by veterinary doctors. A healthy animal is physically, mentally and socially sound.
These animals are milked by hand or by machines. The milk is preserved and converted into dairy products industrially which are then used for commercial purposes.
Poultry Farming
Poultry farming is concerned with raising and breeding of birds for commercial purposes. Birds like ducks, chickens, geese, pigeons, turkeys, etc. are domesticated for eggs and meat.
It is very important to take care of the animals and maintain them in a disease-free environment to obtain healthy food from them. The eggs and meat are a rich source of protein.
Sanitation and hygiene conditions need to be maintained. The faeces of birds are used as manure to improve the soil fertility. Poultry farming provides employment to a large number of people and helps in improving the economy of the farmers.
Fish Farming
Fish farming is the process of raising fish in closed tanks or ponds for commercial purposes. There is an increasing demand for fish and fish protein. Fish species such as salmon, catfish, cod, and tilapia are raised in fish farms.
Fish farming or pisciculture is of two types:
Extensive aquaculture, based on the local photosynthetic production
Intensive aquaculture, based on the external food supply given to fishes.
Bee Farming
Bee farming or apiculture is the practice of maintaining bee colonies by humans in man-made hives. Honey bees are reared on a large scale. The bees are domesticated for honey, wax, and to pollinate flowers. They are also to other beekeepers for the same purposes. The place where bees are kept is known as an apiary or a bee yard.
