This course combines science, statistics, biology, and cutting-edge breeding techniques to improve animal species—making them more resilient, more productive, or more adapted to local environments. It’s also incredibly important in a country like Nigeria, where livestock play huge roles in food supply, livelihoods, and the rural economy. Before you jump in, it’s good to know two things: where you can study the course, and what you need academically—both for JAMB UTME and your O’Level certificates. That way, you can prepare well and make your application as strong as possible.
