THE DIVISION OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY NIMAL HUSBANDRY is that branch of Agricultural Science which deals with the breeding, feeding, care and management of livestock. It is the purpose of the instruction given to students in the several courses of study offered in Animal Husbandry in the School of Agriculture to train them especially in the fundamental requirements of successful livestock production. Successful livestock production is closely interwoven with the production of farm crops, farm building construction, the principles of marketing, the prevention of animal diseases and several other branches of study. A study of the principles involved in the breeding of farm animals in order to bring about improvement forms the basis of one course of study. Modern methods of feeding, the selection of feeds for the production of economic gains, and economic methods of care and management are important requirements in livestock production in which the student is given thorough training. A course in meats is planned to acquaint the student with methods of slaughter of animals, cutting, curing and storage of meats for farm iisieland to give the student a better idea of what is beneath the surface in animals. .. K Briefly then, it is the purpose of the training in Animal Husbandry in the School of Agriculture to provide the student an opportunity to equip himself with knowledge that will enable him to cope successfully with the problems involved in livestock production. -'I' X , ., 4 .
