Dairy Farming, Pearl Culture, Prawn Culture, Fur, Wool, Leather and Its Processing, Vermiculture, Lac Culture and Fisheries provides a comprehensive introduction to economically important areas of applied animal sciences and their practical applications. The book explores key concepts and practices associated with dairy farming, including livestock management and production, alongside the principles and techniques of pearl and prawn culture. It also examines the production, properties, utilization, and processing of animal-derived products such as fur, wool, and leather. Dedicated sections on vermiculture and lac culture introduce readers to their biological foundations, cultivation practices, economic significance, and commercial applications. Designed to connect fundamental zoological knowledge with industry-oriented practices, the book presents scientific concepts in a clear and systematic manner. It emphasizes sustainable utilization of animal resources, entrepreneurship, and the socioeconomic importance of applied zoology. This book serves as a valuable academic resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Zoology, Life Sciences, and allied disciplines, as well as learners preparing for examinations and those interested in animal-based industries, sustainable practices, and entrepreneurship.
