Good animal husbandry practices involve proper feeding, hygiene, healthcare, and management of livestock. These practices benefit farmers in several ways:
- Increased Productivity: Healthy and well-fed animals give more milk, meat, and eggs.
- Better Income: Higher production and quality products fetch better prices in the market.
- Reduced Losses: Proper care and disease prevention reduce mortality and veterinary costs.
- Improved Livelihood: Reliable and sustainable animal production supports farmers’ economic stability.
- Efficient Resource Use: Proper management ensures optimal use of feed, water, and shelter resources.
