Animal Science 236 - Equine Management I

This course covers scientifically-based principles of equine management including safe horse handling, daily stable operations, record keeping, nutrition, vaccination and de-worming protocols, and breeding herd management.

Open to BS-ANIMLSCI, BS-PREVET, and BS-VET-TECH students. Work with horses poses health risks, including development of allergic reactions, physical injury, and exposure to zoonotic diseases. To mitigate these risks, all students must be trained in university safe horse handling protocols, comply with University and Farm Biosecurity practices, and wear appropriate attire (including disinfected boots and gloves)
