| Animal Science
What is Animal Science?
Animal scientists study the feeding, breeding and management of domestic animals, particularly those of agricultural significance. This field of science encompasses subjects ranging from herd genetics and high-performance diets to animal vaccines and environmentally sound animal management, with a focus on transferring this knowledge into practice.
Career Opportunities
The rapid expansion of the livestock and animal health industry in Saskatchewan and elsewhere means an increasing need for scientists and professionals who can guide the industry's development.
Opportunities for Animal Science graduates are wide-ranging. In government positions, graduates can help set government policies or work directly in research. Other employment can be found with feed manufacturers, animal breeding companies, pharmaceutical companies, consulting firms, universities, as well as in primary production or in the growing agricultural biotechnology industry. Some graduates also choose rewarding careers working with developing nations.
Graduates with advanced degrees typically find careers as scientists, professors, specalists or business executives. |
