production and drought and poultry for eggs and meat. Breeding of animals for disease
resistance. Breeds of livestock, poultry and rabbits.
3. Nutrition: Role of nutrition in animal health and production. Classification of feeds,
Proximate composition of feeds, feeding standards, computation of rations. Ruminant nutrition.
Concepts of total digestible nutrients and starch equivalent systems. Significance of energy
determinations. Conservation of feeds and fodder and utilization of agro by products. Feed
supplements and additives. Nutrition deficiencies and their management.

record. Economics of livestock, poultry and rabbit farming. Clean milk production. Veterinary
hygiene with reference to water, air and habitation. Sources of water and standards of potable
water. Purification of water. Air changes and thermal comfort. Drainage systems and effluent
disposal Biogas.

semen characteristics and preservation. Sterility its causes and remedies. (b) Meat eggs and
wool production. Methods of slaughter of meat animals, meat inspection, judgment, carcass
characteristics, adulteration and its detection processing and preservation; Meat products,
quality control and nutritive value, By products. Physiology of egg production, nutritive value,
grading of eggs preservation and marketing.
