1. Explain in brief the role of animal husbandry in human welfare.

Animal husbandry deals with the scientific management of livestock. It

includes various aspects such as feeding, breeding, and control diseases to

raise the population of animal livestock. Animal husbandry usually includes

animals such as cattle, pig, sheep, poultry, and fish which are useful for

humans in various ways. These animals are managed for the production of

commercially important products such as milk, meat, wool, egg, honey, silk,

etc. The increase in human population has increased the demand of these

products. Hence, it is necessary to improve the management of livestock

scientifically.
