Geographical Distribution Of Farm Animals In Nigeria

in #steemiteducation6 years ago

In Nigeria, the distribution of farm animals are not found in equal number. This is as a result of climatic conditions, customs and religious beliefs of the habitats of that particular region, the type of vegetation and topography of area. Therefore, not all farm animals are reared all over the country.
