This course blends biology, chemistry, animal feeding science, and biotechnology tools to help improve animal health and productivity. As farms try to be more efficient and sustainable, and as we aim to ensure good food security, experts in nutrition and biotech are increasingly important. Choosing this program means you're preparing to play a role in research, farming innovation, feed industry, or animal health improvements. But before you get ahead, it helps to know where you can study this in Nigeria, what subjects JAMB expects you to take, and what your WAEC/NECO or equivalent results must include. Let’s walk through all of that so you can plan well. In this Blog Here’s what you’ll find: A list of universities in Nigeria that offer Animal Nutrition and Biotechnology The required JAMB (UTME) subject combination for the course The required O’Level (WAEC / NECO / equivalent) subjects and grades
##What is Animal Nutrition and Biotechnology Course?
Animal Nutrition is the scientific field that studies the nutritional requirements of animals to maintain their health, growth, and productivity, focusing on the balance of energy, proteins, and other essential nutrients from their diet and ensuring the safety of feeds and the products derived from animals. Biotechnology is the application of biological processes, organisms, or systems to develop or create products, such as improving the nutritional value and digestibility of animal feeds, creating microorganisms that enhance animal health, or genetically engineering animals to enhance productivity.
