Livestock Farming First Term Scheme of Work for JSS1 to SS3
Livestock Farming moves from poultry basics at JSS1 all the way to biotechnology and business planning at SS3, and the jump between levels catches a lot of teachers off guard. Below is the full First Term topic breakdown for every level, JSS1 through SS3, so you can plan your term with confidence.
How the Subject Builds Across Levels
JSS1 starts with poultry, the most accessible entry point for young students. By JSS2 and JSS3, the focus shifts to management, breeding, and record-keeping. Senior classes branch out further: SS1 covers general livestock and nutrition, SS2 moves into aquaculture and fish farming, and SS3 closes with biotechnology and livestock entrepreneurship. Knowing this progression helps you see how each term’s notes connect to the next.

A Few Things Worth Knowing
Why does SS2 shift to fish farming instead of livestock?
Aquaculture falls under the broader livestock farming curriculum, and SS2 is where students get dedicated exposure to it, before SS3 moves into biotechnology and business planning.
Does this scheme apply to all states in Nigeria?
The core topic sequence follows the national curriculum, though individual schools sometimes adjust pacing around their own midterm and exam dates.
