The Economic Zoology course is a course that examines the impact of animals on human life and economic activities, aiming to provide practical knowledge and skills in areas such as agriculture, animal husbandry, health, and environmental management. This course focuses on teaching the biology, production techniques, and economic value of beneficial animal species (e.g., bees, silkworms, fish, and domestic animals) while also aiming to understand control methods for harmful species (e.g., agricultural pests and disease vectors). Economic Zoology seeks to promote the sustainable use of biological resources, contributing to the conservation of ecosystems and economic development.
The Economic Zoology course offers a comprehensive overview of the economic significance of animals in various aspects of human life.
