The Role of a Livestock Specialist
in Our Daily Lives

Caring for Animals – The Key to High-Quality Products
In the modern world, human life is closely linked to agriculture and animal husbandry. Every day, we encounter animal-derived products made possible by the work of specialists in livestock science. Let’s explore who a livestock specialist is and their role in our daily lives.

A livestock specialist is a professional engaged in breeding and managing farm animals on farms and large agricultural enterprises.

They oversee proper animal care, feeding, and disease prevention. Their work covers a wide range of tasks, from planning nutritional diets to managing genetic programs.

This specialist possesses expertise in various areas of animal husbandry. They work with different types of animals, including cattle, pigs, sheep, and poultry, understanding each species’ specific behaviors, dietary needs, and living conditions.
Each year, the demands on agricultural production increase, requiring livestock specialists to continually improve their qualifications. A modern livestock specialist not only monitors animal health but also actively participates in scientific research, developing innovative feeding and management methods. They must be knowledgeable in veterinary science, genetics, and agronomy to ensure maximum productivity and animal welfare.

SIKE offers personnel training in a convenient format through the interactive e-learning course 'Fundamentals of Animal Science'.
