BS in Zoology Courses

BS Zoology syllabus is related to wildlife, fisheries, birds, and their evolution. These subjects give awareness on protecting and dealing with animals and what measurements should apply to conserve their habitats. Moreover, it tells the commercial use and methodology to produce commercial animals like honey bees. It gives information about the animal's evolution and how animals transformed based on their needs, life cycle, and mode of nutrition. BS Zoology subjects make zoology students professional in this field and create many job opportunities after completing a degree.

BS Zoology subject list has a unique name for every specialized subject like the study of fishes is called ichthyology and study of birds in ornithology. The BS Zoology subjects list in Pakistan is updated, and different international authors' books are recommended, like Miller Harley. For more information, students can buy books on their end.
