Animal science
Animal science is described as "studying the
biology of
animals that are under the control of humankind". It can also be described as the production and management of farm animals. Historically, the degree was called
animal husbandry and the animals studied were
livestock species, like
cattle,
sheep,
pigs,
poultry, and
horses. Today, courses available look at a broader area, including companion animals, like
dogs and
cats, and many exotic species. Degrees in Animal Science are offered at a number of colleges and universities. Animal science degrees are often offered at land-grant universities, which will often have on-campus farms to give students hands-on experience with livestock animals.
