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.

The course covers in depth the most recent cellular and molecular findings related to mammalian fertilization as well as the technical and ethical issues associated with the application of newly developed assisted reproductive technologies such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and cloning of animals. The application of these technologies is discussed whether it applies to animals of agricultural importance, wildlife, or humans. In addition, students are required to select a subject from one of the discussed topics in the class.
