Students enrolled in this course will be introduced to all aspects of managing a meat goat herd, including nutritional management, reproductive management, health management, and marketing.
Open to BS-ANIMLSCI, BS-PREVET, and BS-VET-TECH students. Work with goats poses health risks, including development of allergic reactions, physical injury, and exposure to zoonotic diseases. To mitigate these risks, compliance with University and Farm Biosecurity Protocols is required as well as appropriate attire (including gloves, coveralls, and washable rubber boots or steel-toe boots)
