ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

A Short Story

A student grew up helping to care for chickens and goats at home. What seemed like ordinary farm work later became an interest in animal production, veterinary care, and livestock business. Animal Husbandry teaches students how animals are bred, managed, fed, protected, and used to support food production and economic growth.
