Jibachha’s Handbook of Animal Husbandry
Preface Animal Husbandry plays a major role in providing employment especially self-employment with high participation of women in Nepal. Livestock products also play a main role in export earnings. This sector provides full time occupation in some cases at the location itself with better utilization of human resources. It provides balanced nutrition in the form of milk, egg and meat besides farm power. In Nepal, various veterinary institutions spread over the country provide veterinary health services and play a major role in increasing the production potentialities of the livestock and poultry. There is an increase in cross bred population and decrease of unproductive animals with the implementation of cross breeding programs. This concise handbook attempts to provide 23 chapters; basic information on animal husbandry, zoological classification, anatomy and physiology, nutrition, genetics, breeding, care and management, forage and fodder production, cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, horse, poultry, rabbit, fish, dog, cat, dairying production and project plans. This handbook has been compiled from the standard text book, journals and various resources, authors do not claim all the originality of text in the book. In this book compilation is based on syllabus of veterinary technical school and competitive exams. So this book will be very useful for institutional students, teachers, extension workers, veterinary undergraduate students and also for researchers. This is our 40th book on veterinary and animal husbandry; more than 31 books are in Nepali language. Amongst these best seller approaches more than 30,000 copies. We would like to acknowledge Professor Dr. Shyam K. Shah (AFU, Rampur), Professor Dr. Jagat Lal Yadav (AFU, Rampur) and Professor Ramashish Sah (AFU, Rampur) for their contribution in their respective major subjects Animal reproduction, Animal nutrition and LPM respectively. The authors feel the responsibility of presenting the pioneer handbook dealing with livestock husbandry and trusts that error, omissions and criticism will be called to his attention in order that later edition may be improved. Of course a multitude of issues are not covered in the book and we welcome your input regarding topics for future tips. Dr. Prabhakar Kumar Shah B.V.Sc & A.H.
