The Animal Husbandry Unit of Mother Teresa College of Agriculture serves as an essential practical learning and training facility that supports education, research, and extension activities related to livestock rearing and management. The unit is dedicated to the scientific and sustainable rearing of livestock such as cattle, goats, sheep, and poultry, with emphasis on improving productivity, health, and welfare of animals.
The unit provides hands-on training to students in areas including animal breeding, feeding, housing, healthcare, and farm management practices. It also promotes integrated farming systems by linking livestock rearing with crop production, nutrient recycling, and income generation. Through regular demonstrations and field-oriented activities, the Animal Husbandry Unit helps students and farmers understand the importance of livestock in strengthening rural livelihoods and ensuring food and nutritional security.
By adopting best management practices and maintaining hygienic and ethical standards, the unit contributes to skill development, practical exposure, and the promotion of sustainable livestock farming.
