This, your final year of studying Agricultural Sciences in high school, involves a fascinating and very technical focus on animal husbandry, covering everything from vaccinating and feeding animals to ensuring their safe transport. You’ll learn about digestive and reproductive systems in different kinds of farm animals, as well as types of shelter and all the other necessary equipment needed to run a successful operation. Of course, success also relies on a sound understanding of the commercial side of agriculture, and to this end you’ll study agric-production factors such as labour, capital management, marketing and entrepreneurship. With all this new knowledge, you’ll have the foundations in place for further study after school and a prosperous career in South Africa’s vital primary sector.
