The Faculty of Animal Husbandry promotes responsible livestock waste management to prevent contamination of nearby rivers, lakes, and water bodies. Students are trained to process livestock waste into organic fertilizers and biogas, reducing the risk of nutrient runoff that can harm aquatic ecosystems. Educational campaigns are also conducted to raise awareness about the impact of improper waste disposal on water quality and marine life. Through these efforts, the faculty contributes to protecting water ecosystems from agricultural pollution.
Faculty researchers engage in studies that analyze the relationship between livestock farming and water pollution, particularly nutrient leaching, bacterial contamination, and antibiotic residue. These studies are crucial for developing more sustainable livestock practices that minimize environmental impact. The research also supports local policy recommendations and extension services aimed at preserving water quality and protecting aquatic biodiversity.
The faculty collaborates with environmental agencies, other university departments, and community groups to promote water conservation and sustainable use of aquatic resources. Activities include joint seminars on livestock and aquatic pollution, student community service programs near water bodies, and knowledge sharing with farmers on good practices to prevent runoff into rivers. These collaborations enhance the faculty’s role in broader sustainability goals related to life below water.
