Bachelor of Science - Animal and Veterinary Science - Production

Raising and managing animals for meat, milk and other products requires both specialized livestock knowledge and business savvy.

In this program, students will explore how to breed and care for livestock through the study of animal science topics like reproduction, nutrition, growth, and health. Students will gain practical business skills for the day-to-day management of livestock operations at a dairy, feedlot, or ranch.

Much of the student's education will take place in the meat science lab and animal centers, where they might learn how to maximize the value of retail cuts or gain hands-on experience with purebred beef cattle, breeding ewes, and milking cows.
