The term dictionary for a layman means a reference book that consists of a list of words along with their meanings. And, when one talks of a dictionary, he or she is implicitly understood as referring to a dictionary of English words. But, unlike what our minds are tuned to think, a person who is talking about a dictionary might just be talking about a glossary of terms belonging to a particular subject. This is exactly where our series comes in the picture. The series consists of dictionaries on varied subjects, ranging from common topics like Commerce and Botany, to very profound and complicated subjects like Entomology and Toxicology. The use of simple and easily comprehensible language, along with real life examples and appropriate pictures, fosters an enriching learning experience for the readers, thereby making each and every volume a must buy. Animal husbandry is no longer the despised preserve of poor farmers and villagers. It is now a big business with the formation of milk cooperatives and use of mild preservative devices. And when a business grows in scope, the knowledge input required for it also grows. Hence this dictionary. In this dictionary, we seek to provide a compendium of various of cattle and goats, artificial insemination, do's and don'ts of diets of cattle and many other topics that managers and owners of dairies will find useful. An attempt has been made to give definitions in the clearest possible terms. We hope to reach out to students as well who are making a scientific study of Animal Husbandry.
