ANIMAL PRODUCTION

Work in Animal Production is concentrated on ruminants and concerns nutrition, management, animal breeding, genetics and reproduction. Investigations in animal nutrition aim at determining the nutritional requirements of livestock at various stages of their production cycle and the nutritive value of local feeds and by-products. Genetic improvement of livestock production is pursued by selection and crossbreeding. Reproductive physiology investigates aspects of fertility and precocity.
