Zoo.321 Applied Zoology 3+1

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

The primary objective of this course is -
 It deals with the application of zoological knowledge for the benefit of mankind by
understanding the economy, health and welfare of humans.
 It includes culturing organisms for mass production for human use and to control or
eradicate harmful ones.
 It will bring to the fore the multidisciplinary nature of Economic Zoology as it includes
sericulture, apiculture, aquaculture, pisciculture and insect pests of agriculture.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

This course will enable the students to:
 Understand different parasites and their life cycles
 Understand agriculturally important insect pests based on their morphological
characteristics/structures.
 develop a critical understanding of the contribution of organisms to the welfare of society.
 examine the diversity of insect pests of different orders in the agro-ecosystem and
sustainable pest management strategies.
