Animal Husbandry and Fisheries

Core concept

Effective animal husbandry includes proper feeding, housing, breeding selection, and disease control to improve livestock productivity and health — for example, cross-breeding local cattle with high-yielding foreign breeds has significantly increased milk production in India, a movement often called the White Revolution. Aquaculture, a rapidly growing sector, allows controlled breeding of fish in ponds or tanks, reducing pressure on wild fish populations while meeting growing demand for protein-rich food.
