About the Book:
This textbook by S.K. Kaushish serves as a comprehensive guide to sheep production, with a contemporary focus on lamb meat and milk production rather than the traditional emphasis on wool. Designed to modernize and improve conventional sheep-rearing methods, the book gathers extensive, research-based information relevant to students and professionals in veterinary and agricultural sciences.

The book is tailored to meet the curriculum requirements of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, while also serving as a practical manual for farmers, extension advisors, veterinary practitioners, and research workers. It covers a wide range of topics essential for effective sheep management, production efficiency, and animal health.

Through its accessible style and educational approach, the book offers:

• A shift in focus towards meat and milk production from sheep

• Guidance for field application and advisory roles

• A valuable reference for self-study and research

This title fills an important gap in literature and acts as both an academic text and a practical resource for anyone engaged in the field of small ruminant production.
