OSU College of Agricultural Sciences,  Animal Science

Animal Science (minor only)
    Animal agriculture is an important part of the economy of Oregon and the nation. It supplies wholesome and nutritional food to millions of people daily. To do this, it requires people with a wide variety of knowledge and skills. In addition to farm or ranch managers, modern animal agriculture requires animal breeders, extension specialists, financiers, food processors, food inspectors, marketing specialists, sales representatives, teachers, technicians, scientists, and veterinarians.
  Students who study Animal Sciences learn answers to many important questions such as: How valuable are domestic farm animals to Americans? How can these animals be improved through the application of genetics? How are animal diets formulated, and how are domestic animals cared for? How can animal diseases be prevented? And how are animal products prepared and marketed?
