Course Description The Advance Methods in Animal Breeding is a course for the graduate students pursuing their Master of Science in Agriculture (MSA). This course covers the principles in selection and
improvement of farm animals. The knowledge of this course can bond the student out either in designing animal breeding exercise, in extension work with animal raisers or in research work on
animal breeding. It is believed that graduates of this course will later help to solve the problem of food deficiency through advancing methods of animal breeding locally, nationally and globally.
Program Outcomes 1. Produce graduates who exemplify competence in providing technical and policy advice in implementing programs that would promote sustainable agricultural development in the
Addressed by the regional, national and global
Course 2. Demonstrate the skills required in the management practices of raising crops and animals.
3. Employ post-production and value adding strategies.
4. Own and mobilize resources and information for gainful and sustainable development of the agricultural and food system resources.
5. Advocate entrepreneurial, economic and sustainable activities in the field agriculture without compromising the environmental and human health

GRADING PLAN

raw score
Grades are computed using the following formula: Grade= [ total no . of items ]
x 50 + 50

The term grade is computed using the formula:

40% - Performance Tasks/Projects (Written report, Sketching and Labelling, Survey and Assessment report )
30% - Major Requirements (Writing and technological advising)
 30% - Formative Assessment (Submission of FA activities-25%, student engagement-5%)

Midterm Grade = 100% Midterm Grade (if applicable)

Final Grade = 50% Midterm Grade + 50% Final Term Grade (if applicable)
