CHAPTER V
AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION IN AGRICULTURE – ANIMAL PRODUCTION
Duration: 7.5 hrs

Introduction

“In several countries across the world, the surging demand for livestock products is largely met by
large-scale livestock production and associated food chains. Nonetheless, hundreds of millions of small-scale
producers and pastoralists depend on livestock for their livelihoods. Beyond food production, farm animals
play other important economic, cultural and social roles and provide multiple functions and services. They are
an essential part of agro-ecosystems.” (FAO, undated; http://www.fao.org/animal-production/en/)

Animal Science is a branch of Agriculture that is concerned with rearing and production of livestock and
poultry. Animal Science is therefore the art and science of rearing domestic livestock and poultry species. An
animal scientist applies principles of the biological, physical, and social sciences to the problems associated
with livestock production and management. It is also concerned with foods of animal origin: meat, dairy foods,
and eggs for human use. Animal scientists must have formal training and appropriate experience to learn and
apply the complex principles involved in animal production, care and use. Animal Production is the technology
applied to the keeping of animals for profit. This includes; feeding, breeding, housing and marketing.” (Dr. Sabo J.
Luka, Coordinator. Department of Animal Production; https://www.unijos.edu.ng/agric/ap)
