Business professionals in the livestock industry make important business management decisions about the production of animals. For example, they might direct operations, manage production processes, lead sales and develop marketing strategies.
In this program, students will learn business fundamentals — such as management, marketing, accounting, and communication — as they apply to livestock industries. Students will also form a solid understanding of animal sciences, including reproduction, nutrition, growth and health.
Much of the student's education will take place in the on-campus labs and animal centers, where they might learn how to maximize the value of retail cuts or explore pregnancy rates and grazing management systems.
