Livestock refers to farm animals (domesticated animals) such as cow, sheep, etc. kept by humans for a commercial purpose. Its management aims to increase yield and improve the quality of products they generate. Four essential methods for livestock improvement are breeding, weeding, feeding and heeding. (i) Both the male and female animals selected for breeding should be of superior quality. (ii) Weeding aims that uneconomic animals must be prevented from reproducing. (iii) Feeding is also very important for animals. Each animal should be fed on a balance diet.
