Q6. How do good animal husbandry practices benefit farmers?
Animal husbandry is the scientific management of feeding, breeding and disease control of animal livestock.
Good animal husbandry practices benefit farmers by:
(I) Increasing the yield of animal products such as milk, eggs, meat etc.
(II) Proper health care keeps the animals healthy which otherwise takes lots of time and money to nurse diseased animals.
(iii) There is improvement in the selective breeding of domesticated animals.
Therefore, good animal husbandry practices increase the production of animal products which increases the profit of farmers.
