पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program goal is to train students to be well qualified to compete for the diverse job opportunities available within the student's major interest area. This requires a mixture of general training and specific training adapted to the individual student's needs and desires. Because animal science involves a combination of many allied disciplines, including chemistry, biochemistry, biology, microbiology, genetics, and statistics, the types of programs available to students are flexible but of equally high quality regardless of the direction of effort. It offers concentrations in animal nutrition, functional genomics, animal physiology, and animal health and well-being. Feed represents the single highest variable input cost in all animal production systems. Efficient and profitable animal production requires development of nutritional strategies that optimize the utilization of ingested nutrients for productive purposes - growth, reproduction, and lactation. It is also imperative that strategies be developed to minimize excretion of nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen that have the potential to adversely impact the environment.
