Animal Science 103 - Intro Animal Mgmt

The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of animal agriculture with a focus on management practices related to the health, husbandry, feeding, breeding, and marketing of beef and dairy cattle, small ruminants, swine, poultry, horses, and alternative agricultural species. This will be accomplished through lectures and hands-on experiences during laboratories, barn chores, and lambing watch. During some laboratories, students will interact with live animals in demonstrations and for animal handling practice.

Open to ANIMLSCI majors only. ANIMLSCI 101 W/ C- Work with animals poses health risks, including development of allergic reactions, physical injuries, and exposure to zoonotic pathogens. It is not possible to eliminate all these risks, but we can attempt to mitigate them through compliance with University and Farm Biosecurity Protocols and Safety Policies.
