Animal Husbandry Video Lecture | Geography for UPSC CSE

[Applause]
hello and welcome to a video world.com
in today's video we will learn about
animal husbandry so what is animal
husbandry it's a branch of agriculture
that deals with feeding caring and
breeding of domestic animals and these
animals can range from you know a horse
to a cow it also includes the birds
which come under the poultry like the
hen the Ducks the geese also there are
other birds which are included in this
category which also comes under animal
husbandry we have the cow we have the
Buffalo so all these animals you know
the animal husbandry talks about
breeding caring and feeding of all these
animals you know the range is quite wide
now what do we mean by husbandry when we
talk about husbandry husbandry means it
is the management and conservation of
resources these resources are related to
animals their care their protection
their well-being
so all these resources are related to
animals we need if we manage and
conserve these resources properly then
this comes under animal has been treated
the branch of science that deals with
the management and conservation of these
resources is what is known as animal
husbandry right so animal husbandry not
only talks about breeding caring and
feeding of these animals but it also
includes proper planning and what is
this planning the planning is for
domestic animal shelter that is how
should they be sheltered where should
they stay what is should be the
condition of the place of stay of each
of these animals Balu because every
animal will require a different kind of
place to stay their requirements are
different the
husbandry talks about the domestic
animal shelter it also talks about the
breeding of animals also takes care of
their health the care and protection
that they required and why is this
protection we're talking about why are
we talking about health is because there
are diseases viral bacterial fungal and
lot of other infections that may infect
these animals so we need to take care of
them these diseases need to be in
control and that's why animal husbandry
also takes care of the health of these
animals in order to avoid any kind of
disease right
lastly or their economic utilization
like how can these animals be utilized
you know properly utilize so over
utilization should not be done proper
utilization of these animals and their
products will ensure availability of
their products for a long time so now
let's move ahead so what are the animals
are we talking about here the animals
which are included under animal
husbandry are like cattles which include
the cow the bull or the Ox the buffalo
the yarks horses as goats sheep and
camel management and conservation of
these resources so these are the range
of the animals that are included so
animal husbandry also includes as I said
the cattle farming cattle means it comes
or it includes the cow the Buffalo the
horses the yaks poultry farming egg and
broiler production the fish production
then comes a marine production like we
here we will talk about the fishes then
we have the Inland Fisheries and
beekeeping that means ap Culture
beekeeping is called epic culture
wherein the bees are they will be given
a shelter
and then the honey will be extracted so
that is what is called as beekeeping or
epic culture right now as the population
increased what happened the
industrialization also came in the
globalization came in with this growing
population the requirement of the food
also increased people wanted more food
more milk more meat and other products
so now because the requirement was more
then there came a need for people to
really look at their catters other
poultry animals with which they were
getting these food products so what was
the requirement the requirement was
three-day these life stocks properly the
requirement was to protect them from
diseases the requirement was to give
them a healthy environment and healthy
food so that they could produce more and
more food so that people can eat and the
requirement of this more food because of
increase in the population can be
balanced so in this video we will talk
about all those processes and practices
with which we can take care of these
animals with which we obtain food and we
obtain other products which makes us
which gives us a balanced diet right so
first we talk about cattle husbandry
cattle husbandry as the name clearly
suggests that it talks about how the
cattle should be treated how the cattle
should be fed and how we have to protect
them so that they can give us more milk
and we can use them effectively cattle
husbandry is done for two purpose one is
for the purpose of obtaining milk and
secondly for draw right what is what do
we mean by draught it means these there
are some animals some category of cattle
which are used for irrigation for for
carting they are only used for for doing
some kind of work like heavy work
whereas there are other categories of
kettles which are used in order to okay
milk like the cow the Buffalo right and
the draught animals will be like the ox
or the Boone what are these animals milk
producing females are called Milch
animals or they are also called as dairy
animals whereas draught are the ones
which are used for farm Labor's and are
called as dot animals right so basically
there are two categories so this is how
it looks like so you can see here this
is a cow a milk producing animal and the
draught animals this is how the farmers
utilize these animals in order to do
their you know work now indeed cattle
belongs to basically two categories so
this boss indicus is what we've known as
commonly known as the cow and the boss
mobilis is commonly known as the Buffalo
so there are two categories and we all
know it right so right hand side this is
a cow and this is a feller so we have
two different species of the same
category of the cattle category right so
Buffalo is the most productive economic
animal that we know what is so important
about the fellows milk the fellow is
milk is richer in fat in proteins in
calcium in phosphorus so it is really
rich in all these nutrients it also
contains low sodium potassium
cholesterol the fellows milk is also
ideal for making milk products such as
Koya de Gigi and etc and that is the
reason exactly why the Buffalo's milk in
isn't great demand right and there are
certain vitamins such as vitamin A & D
that are also present in the milk so my
fellow is milk is most important so now
that we know that the Buffalo milk is so
important what is required it's with
requirement is of its proper cleaning
and a proper shelter for a Buffalo right
now why is it required basically for two
reasons first is because it gives us
milk we need to have good
tea of milk from Buffalo secondly it is
very very important for the health of
the Buffalo and that is why we need to
really take care of where are we keeping
these cattle animals the place of stay
and their shelter the condition of that
area should be neat and clean it should
have lot of sunlight coming in there it
should also be your shady place right so
that they can take rest so now because
we know a buffalo milk it is so
important first thing these are the few
steps that are required as far as their
stay is concerned first is both the cow
and Buffalo require regular brushing so
as to remove dirt and other loose hairs
from their body and on the right you can
see this is how the entire process is
done in a big industries and big places
where they have this cattle shed and
this is how the brushing is being done
over these cows and buffaloes right so
this is how they are cleaned every be
next is they should be sheltered under
well ventilated roofed shed that protect
them from rain heat and cold right so
they should have some kind of sunlight
coming in but at the same time they
should be allowed to you know shelter
inside of inside a shed so that they are
protected from rain and extreme cold and
heat the shelter should be such
certainly the floor of the ins or
wherever the kettle's are staying should
be such a way that it has to be a little
Sloopy so that when it is washed all the
water comes out of that area and the
area is dry right so this will give them
a clean place to stay so these are some
small little things which should be
taken care as far as a shelter is
concerned right requirement for food for
kettles what kind of food are
ketil's eat now there are two types of
food that the kettle's are generally
given one is during the normal course of
the day that is during day to day life
secondly is a special food that is
generally given during the lactation
period that is when the cow or the
Buffalo is lactating so the farmers
should properly know as to what kind of
food is to be given to the two types of
categories of that it is very important
because this precious food when given in
the lactation period can produce more
and more milk and a better quality of
milk and during that time right now as
far as the food is concerned there are
basically roughage and a concentrate now
this is what I was talking about the
components cattle feed you can see this
is a green grass these are some kind of
seeds these are those are corn seeds and
other grains which are given to the
cattle so that you know it increases the
production of the milk in them and also
keeps them healthy right and this is
green grass against it acts as some kind
of roughage so let's now talk about the
component of cattle feed so basically
two types one is a concentrate which is
low in fiber and contains high level of
protein and other nutrients so basically
on the right is what you'll see is a
concentrate this is generally mixed with
water and then you know the cattles are
out to drink it so this is the
concentrate and roughage mainly contains
fiber so what they're eating here is a
kind of roughage a green grass so both
are important grass is also green grass
is important as far as the concentrate
is also important so this is the
component of cattle feed which should be
given to the cattle on a daily basis now
there are other tips which are important
for example first is that the
concentrate must be fed individually
according to the production right
like if a
cattle is producing more milk then it
requires more of food more feed should
be given to the particular kettle
however if there is another cow or a
buffalo which is not producing any milk
or which is producing less quantity of
the milk a may be given slightly lesser
feed then as compared to a cow or a
Buffalo whose lactating right secondly
good quality roughage also saves
concentrate so if you provide more
roughage then it will save on the amount
of concentrate that you are giving it to
the cattle thirdly regularity in feeding
should be followed there has to be
proper time at which they these kettles
are fed feed concentrate mixture before
milking half in the morning and other
half in the evening so basically feed a
concentrate should be mixed once in the
evening and once in the morning so that
they have a balanced diet and feed the
roughage after milking and watering also
so after you melt the cattle after and
before both they have to be given this
feed high-yielding animals may be fed
three times a day so those kettles who
are probably lactating or while yielding
high may be given more feed that is more
than twice
and lastly maintain normal human
motility and optimum milk fat level so
these are few tips that should be you
know really followed religiously so as
to maintain good health and a very
healthy environment where the kettles
are steamed so thank you for watching
