Objectives:
At the end of the topic, the students/trainees must be able to:
• Understand the importance of animal husbandry.
• Determine different livestock species.
• Determine different poultry species.
• Internalize scientific names of different livestock and poultry species.
• Identify eggs of different poultry species
Introduction
• Ancient time –animals provide food, fiber, leather and draft power that
greatly contribute in the growth and survival of humanity
• Modern days –agribusiness enterprise
• Animal agriculture –business of producing, processing and marketing high
quality protein, fiber and other animal products for human consumption
• To fully achieve its gains –system and management decisions applied must be
based on scientific and economic principles
Introduction
• Animal science –study of the biology and management of higher animals.
• Animal husbandry –breeding, feeding, care, and management of animals for
the purpose of making profit
• Animal husbandry –animal science and economic principles must be
considered and should be incorporated in the techniques and management
practices in animal production
LIVESTOCK
 The carabao is a swamp type

CARABAO
domestic Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
found in the Philippines and Guam. The
word "carabao" is borrowed from
Spanish carabao which is from Waray-
Waray karabaw. Water buffaloes were
most likely introduced to the Philippines
by Malay immigrants in the period 300 to
200 BC. The word carabao and kalabaw in
Filipino was derived from the Malay word
kerbau.

 Domesticated goats (Capra
GOAT hircus) are descended from
the pasang (Capra aegagrus),
which is probably native to Asia,
the earliest records being Persian.
In China, Great Britain, Europe,
and North America, the domestic
goat is primarily a milk producer,
with a large portion of the milk
being used to make cheese.

 Cattle, domesticated bovine farm animals

CATTLE that are raised for their meat, milk, or hides

or for draft purposes.
All modern domestic cattle are believed to
belong to the species Bos taurus (European
breeds such as Shorthorn and Jersey) or
Bos indicus (Zebu breeds such as
Brahman) or to be crosses of these two
(such as Santa Gertrudis).

 Sheep, (Ovis aries), species of
SHEEP domesticated ruminant (cud-
chewing) mammal, raised for its
meat, milk, and wool. The sheep is
usually stockier than its relative the
goat (genus Capra); its horns, when
present, are more divergent; it has
scent glands in its face and hind feet;
and the males lack the beards of
goats. Sheep usually have short tails.

 It is believed that the majority of the
SWINE breeds we now know are descended
from the Eurasian Wild Boar (Sus
scrofa). Archaeological evidence
from the Middle East indicates
domestication of the pig occurs as
early as 9,000 years ago, with some
evidence for domestication even
earlier in China.
