What is husbandry?
Animal husbandry is the practice of breeding and/or raising animals. Some countries have strict laws on the qualifications needed to treat animals and ensure that proper scientific methods are used to care for them. The science of animal husbandry, called Animal Science, is taught in many universities and colleges around the world. Students of Animal Science may pursue degrees in veterinary medicine following graduation, or go on to pursue master’s degrees or doctorates in disciplines such as nutrition, genetics and breeding, or reproductive physiology. Graduates of these programs may be found working in the veterinary and human pharmaceutical industries, the livestock and pet supply and feed industries, or in academia.
