Livestock Production: Importance and Nutrition

This topic introduces the importance of livestock production in Zambia and covers the basics of animal nutrition and feed formulation. Learners will demonstrate understanding of livestock's role in providing food, income, and other products. They will also learn to formulate balanced animal feeds, a key practical skill. This foundation is crucial for ECZ examinations on animal husbandry and for subsequent topics in poultry, pig, and ruminant production. Understanding livestock value and nutrition aligns with the CBC's aim of developing competences for agribusiness and contributing to food security and economic development in Zambia.
