BScAgric in Animal Science

This programme integrates knowledge of the ecology, biochemistry, physiology, nutrition, breeding, production and product quality of animal production systems. It also covers the management of animal production systems in an environmentally friendly and economically effective way, to ensure increased production and production efficiency. In the broad area of animal production systems you may choose a field of study from the following: animal sciences alone or in combination with agricultural economics, agronomy, aquaculture or conservation ecology.

The study of one of these fields prepares you for a career as a consultant, entrepreneur, technician, adviser, production manager in animal sciences and related industries (such as animal nutrition, meat science, animal reproduction, animal physiology, animal breeding, etc.) or in the aquaculture industry, or as a livestock or game farmer.
