A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Introduction to micro-livestock and species identification

Micro‑livestock refers to small animal species such as goats, sheep, poultry, rabbits, and rodents that are raised for food, fibre, and income in smallholder settings. Mastering their basic biology, ecological niches, and distinguishing characteristics is essential for accurate species identification, a prerequisite for effective management and disease control in the Nigerian context.
