Statistics For Veterinary And Animal Science

by Ganesh Yadav

Overview

Research in veterinary medicine often makes use of and may depend upon statistical analysis. Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development sector plays an important role in the socio economic development of India. Besides providing cheap nutritional food to millions of people, it is helpful in generating gainful employment in the rural sector, particularly among the landless labourers, small and marginal farmers and women by supplementing their family incomes.
