Animal Science
The livestock and meat industry ranks among the greatest
industries in the United States. Livestock and crops go hand in
hand to provide food and fiber for mankind throughout the
world. Livestock systems in this country (involving breeding,
nutrition, management, marketing, selection, and meat
processing) are the most sophisticated of any that can be found
in the world. We have progressed in the discovery of new
approaches to efficiency in the production and processing of
food and fiber. The student will be introduced to animal
systems, diseases, management
practices, evaluation methods,
animal nutrition, animal
reproduction, and animal
management.
