Animal Science is about more than just raising animals — it covers feeding, breeding, reproduction, physiology, genetics, disease prevention, and sustainable livestock management. In Nigeria, where livestock contributes a lot to food supply, income, and rural development, skilled Animal Science graduates are very much needed. As you plan ahead, it's helpful to know where you can study it, what subjects you need for JAMB, and what your WAEC/NECO results should look like so you make a strong application.
