In addition they will be well positioned toextend their learning and practice into other areas of animal production, ensuring efficient and effectiveanimal production.Learners will gain specific knowledge and skills in animal anatomy and physiology and will be able tooperate in an animal production environment implementing sustainable and economically viable productionprinciples.They will be capacitated to gain access to the mainstream agricultural sector, in animal production,impacting directly on the sustainability of the sub-sector. The improvement in production technology willalso have a direct impact on the improvement of agricultural productivity of the sector.LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNINGNo learning assumed.UNIT STANDARD RANGEAnatomical systems include but are not limited to the following: external systems and covering, sensorysystems, skeleton, musculature, nervous system, cardio-vascular system, digestive system, lymph,reproductive system and the endocrine and glandular systems. It is assumed that this learner operatesunder supervision.Whilst range statements have been defined generically to include as wide a set of alternatives as possible,all range statements should be interpreted within the specific context of application.Range statements are neither comprehensive nor necessarily appropriate to all contexts. Alternatives musthowever be comparable in scope and complexity. These are only as a general guide to scope andcomplexity of what is required.UNIT STANDARD OUTCOME HEADERN/ASpecific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:
