Animal Bioscience is an interdepartmental major involving the departments of Dairy and Animal Science, Poultry Science, and Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences. The goal of this major is to provide you with a strong background in the biological and physical sciences underlying animal sciences and agriculture. The student is expected to focus study on one or more disciplines of the biological sciences underlying animal agriculture, especially during the senior year. Such disciplines include, but are not limited to genetics, nutrition, immunology, and physiology. Through elective courses, students also may gain a broad knowledge about management of laboratory and farm animals.
