Animal Husbandry

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

3

Animal husbandry is the scientific management of animal livestock.

It includes various aspects such as feeding, breeding and disease control.

Cattle Farming

Fish production

Fish production

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

5

There are two ways of obtaining fish.

One is from natural resources, which is called

Capture fishing.

Commercially raising fishes in tanks is called

Culture fishery.

Sources to obtain fish

MARINE FISHERIES

(ii) INLAND FISHERIES

�MARINE FISHERIES�

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

6

Popular marine fish varieties

• Pomphret
• Mackerel
• Tuna
• Sardines,
• Bombay duck

Marine fish are caught using many kinds of fishing nets from fishing boats.

Yields are increased by locating large schools of fish in the open sea using satellites and echo-sounders.

High economic value fishes

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

7

Fish of high economic value & sea food

• Finned fishes like mullets
• Bhetki
• Pearl spots
• Shellfish
• Prawns
• Mussels
• Oysters
• Seaweed

Peneaus monodon

(marine)

Mariculture

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

8

Culturing raising marine fishes in enclosed portion of ocean or culture fisheries, a practice called mariculture.

INLAND FISHERIES- Aquaculture

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

9

Fresh water resources

• Canals
• Ponds
• Reservoirs
• Rivers.

Fish culture is sometimes done in combination with a rice crop, so that fish are

grown in the water in the paddy field.

Brackish water resources

- seawater and fresh water mix

• Estuaries
• lagoons

Composite fish culture

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

10

A combination of five or six fish species -in a single pond.

• These species -do not compete for food among them
• have different types of food habits
• As a result, the food available in all the parts of the pond is used.
• Increase fish yield

​

Problems of Composite fish culture

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

11

Most of the fish breed only during monsoon. Even if fish seed is collected from the wild, it can be mixed with other species. So, a major problem in fish farming is the lack of availability of good quality seed.

Solution for Composite fish culture

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

12

Breed these fish in ponds using hormonal stimulation. This has ensured the supply of pure fish seed in desired quantities.

Bee keeping

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

13

Bee Keeping -Honey Production

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

14

Benefits

• Bee-keeping needs low investments
• Farmers use it as an additional income generating activity.
• In addition to honey, the beehives are a source of wax which is used in various medicinal preparations

Bee varieties

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

15

Varieties of bees

Local

1.Apis cerana indica, -Indian bee

2 Apis Dorsata- Rock bee

3.Apis florae- Little bee

​

An Italian bee variety

1.Apis mellifera- High yield variety and is used for commercial honey production.

For commercial honey production, bee farms or apiaries are established.

Honey Quality

Mrs. Ragini Bhatt JNV Shyampur

16

The value or quality & taste of honey depends upon

1. Pasturage, or the flowers available to the bees for nectar and pollen collection.

2. Adequate quantity of pasturage

3.Kind of flowers available will determine the taste of the honey.
