Cost, time and bonus at every level
Animal Husbandry runs to level 12, adding +1% to production_rate and 58 power each time. Studying it out costs the four soft resources — the same amount of each — and takes 34m 21s for the final level alone. Gems are only ever the optional instant finish; the study itself is bought with what your fields already make.
| Level | Total production rate | Power | Study time | Each resource | Gems to finish instantly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +1% | 58 | 1m 55s | 12,000 | 2 |
| 2 | +2% | 116 | 2m 30s | 15,600 | 3 |

| 4 | +4% | 232 | 4m 13s | 26,364 | 5 |
| 5 | +5% | 290 | 5m 28s | 34,273 | 6 |
| 10 | +10% | 580 | 20m 20s | 127,254 | 21 |

Taken from nothing to level 12 that is 2h 22m of raw study and 891,923 of each of food, wood, stone and iron — 3,567,692 resources in total. Levels above 10 additionally consume an advanced forging material, one more unit per level past the threshold, so the last 2 levels also need the forge working.
Where it sits in the tree
Animal Husbandry belongs to the Economy branch — the production, construction and gathering line — everything that fills the stores. It stays locked until Granaries reaches level 5. Nothing further in the tree depends on it, so it is a leaf: worth taking for its own bonus, never as a stepping stone.
The road here: Agriculture to level 10 → Granaries to level 5 → Animal Husbandry. That is 2 studies standing between a fresh Academy and this one.
| Prerequisite | Level required | Each resource | Study time |

| Total before you may begin | — | 619,951 | 5h 41m |
