This course is a blend of two dynamic fields: Animal Science (raising and managing land animals like poultry, livestock) and Fisheries (managing aquatic species, fish culture, etc.). It opens doors to jobs in fish farming, livestock production, feed formulation, conservation, and more. But before applying, you’ll want to know which universities offer it, what JAMB expects you to write in UTME, and what your WAEC/NECO (or similar O’Level) results need to be. In this Blog Here’s what this post will cover: A list of Nigerian universities offering Animal Science and Fisheries (or very closely related variants) The JAMB/UTME subject combination required for admission into this course The O’Level (WAEC/NECO etc.) subjects & grade requirements you must meet
