Description

This merit badge pamphlet will walk Scouts through the requirements for earning the Animal Science merit badge. Many of us take livestock—horses, dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, chickens, and hogs—for granted. Through Animal Science, you can learn what it takes to keep these animals healthy and stable. With comprehensive information on topics such as animal health and nutrition, breeding and genetics, and animal behavior, this pamphlet is an essential resource for any Scout who wants to deepen their knowledge of animal knowledge or explore a potential career in livestock science. This pamphlet also includes practical tips on caring for animals and maintaining their habitats, as well as activities and requirements to earn the merit badge.
