What is the primary focus of animal husbandry in agriculture?
Explanation
Animal husbandry focuses on breeding, feeding, and managing farm animals for production. It covers selection of breeding stock, nutrition, housing, health care, and general welfare.
Goals include: improving breeds for higher production, maintaining animal health, ensuring proper nutrition, and maximizing farm profitability while ensuring animal welfare.
This differs from veterinary care (treating sick animals) and wildlife management. Animal husbandry is specifically about raising domesticated animals for agricultural purposes.
