Animal Production at the Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) asks for a full science set at O’Level. All five credits are named outright, which leaves a candidate no room to substitute a subject they did not sit.
The JAMB requirement is looser than the O’Level one. Physics and Mathematics are both compulsory credits on your result, but in the UTME you register only one of the two, alongside English Language, Chemistry and a biological science.
Direct Entry candidates follow a different list again, and FUTMINNA applies a single UTME threshold across the university for the 2026/2027 session. Each of those points is set out in the sections below.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Animal Production include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- Chemistry
- Mathematics
- Biology/Agricultural Science
- Physics
- English Language
Four of the five are fixed subjects. The only choice offered is between Biology and Agricultural Science, and the department treats them as equivalent for this purpose.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Chemistry
- Biology/Agricultural Science
- Physics/Mathematics
Compare this with the O’Level list and the difference is in the fourth line. Physics and Mathematics are separate credits on your result, but here they are alternatives, so you register whichever of the two you are stronger in.

Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Animal Production if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two ‘A’ level passes or equivalent in Chemistry and one in Biology/Botany /Zoology/Agricultural Science/ Geography/Geology/ Mathematics/Economics.
Chemistry is the compulsory half of that pair. The second pass may come from a long list running from Botany and Zoology through to Geology and Economics, which gives Direct Entry applicants more latitude than UTME candidates have.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into FUTMINNA for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 180 or above in your JAMB result.
This figure buys you a place at the screening and nothing more. Admission is settled afterwards, so treat 180 as the minimum rather than the target.

Physics and Maths Are Both Credits for FUTMINNA Animal Production
The trap on this page is assuming the JAMB list describes the O’Level requirement. It does not. Physics and Mathematics are an either-or choice in the UTME, but both must appear as credits among your five SSCE passes.
Check that first, then the rest follows: Chemistry and English Language at credit level, Biology or Agricultural Science in either slot, and 180 in JAMB to reach the FUTMINNA screening for Animal Production.
