This class examines the academic discipline of animal welfare, considering how science, ethics, legislation and economic factors impact the lives of animals. (Gen. Ed. SI)

This is a two credit experiential learning class that involves the daily care, feeding, and management of pre- and post-weaned dairy calves. Students are expected to attend weekly management meetings and to complete a two week feeding block. This course requires close quarter work with dairy calves. Under the best of circumstances (use of appropriate personal protective equipment) there is a small but significant risk of contracting zoonotic diseases. To mitigate this risk student purchase and use of coveralls and water proof boots is required. Additional PPE will be provided.

Internship of other pre-professional work experience in the field of animal science.

The nutrition of domesticated animals with emphasis on dietary programs for production and health. Focus on monogastric, ruminant, and cecal digesting species in lecture. Both hand and computer ration balancing techniques used.

Students gain additional experience in teaching all aspects of Animal Science courses. Students will be expected to assist teaching in labs and review sessions, as well as contributing to the development and presentation of classroom teaching material.

Students will gain initial experience in teaching all aspects of Animal Science courses. Students must submit an application and will be expected to demonstrate specific competencies related to labs, assisting students, and leading review sessions.

Introductory course prepares students for further lab related work. Topics include lab measurements, solution preparation, instrumentation, practical laboratory exercises. Clinical topics include human and animal hematology, clinical chemistry, diagnostic biology, parasitology and molecular diagnostics with lab exercises that are applicable to veterinary or biomedical clinical laboratories.
