Course Description The Advance Ruminant Production and Management is a course for the graduate students pursuing their Master of Science in Agriculture (MSA). This course covers the basic principles
of production, marketing, and waste utilization of ruminant animals including pasture production and utilization. The knowledge of this course can bail the student out either in actual ruminant
production exercise, in extension work with animal raisers or in research work on ruminant production. It is believed that graduates of this course will later help to solve the problem of food
 deficiency through advancing ruminant production locally, nationally and globally.
Program Outcomes 1. Produce graduates who exemplify competence in providing technical and policy advice in implementing programs that would promote sustainable agricultural development in the
Addressed by the regional, national and global
Course 2. Demonstrate the skills required in the management practices of raising crops and animals.
3. Employ post-production and value adding strategies.
4. Own and mobilize resources and information for gainful and sustainable development of the agricultural and food system resources.
5. Advocate entrepreneurial, economic and sustainable activities in the field agriculture without compromising the environmental and human health

GRADING PLAN

raw score
Grades are computed using the following formula: Grade= [ total no . of items ]
x 50 + 50

The term grade is computed using the formula:

40% - Performance Tasks/Projects (Written report, Sketching and Labelling, Survey and Assessment report )
30% - Major Requirements (Writing and technological advising)
30% - Formative Assessment (Submission of FA activities-25%, student engagement-5%)

Midterm Grade = 100% Midterm Grade (if applicable)

Final Grade = 50% Midterm Grade + 50% Final Term Grade (if applicable)
