Animal science is an undergraduate major in China's general institutions of higher learning. This major cultivates high-quality composite professionals who master the basic theories, basic knowledge and operational skills in animal nutrition and feed science, animal genetic breeding and reproduction, and modern animal husbandry production, operation and management, and who are capable of engaging in teaching, scientific research, production, management, operation, and promotion work in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine and its related fields.
Animal Science focuses on the basic knowledge and skills of animal genetic variation, growth and development, offspring reproduction, digestion and metabolism, nutrition and rearing, and carries out research on animal production and management, feed research and development and production, and genetic engineering. For example, animal feeding and offspring reproduction, formulation and design of animal feed, processing and production of various animal products such as milk and meat.
Course System: Animal Genetics, Livestock Breeding, Animal Nutrition, Animal Feed, Livestock Breeding, Livestock Environmental Hygiene and Ranch Design, Livestock Economics and Management, Swine Breeding, Cattle Breeding, and Poultry Breeding.
Difference between Animal Science and Animal Medicine:
1, the research object is different. Animal medicine is to train "veterinarian" specialty, it is based on biology, the study of the development of animal diseases, and on this basis, the diagnosis and prevention of disease, to protect the health of animals in a comprehensive discipline; and animal science is the study of animal genetics and breeding, animal reproduction, animal nutrition and animal feed and other aspects of the basic theory and basic knowledge.
2, different years of study. Animal medicine is 4 or 5 years, animal science is 4 years.
3, the main courses are different. Animal medicine major main courses are animal anatomy, animal histology and embryology, animal physiology, etc.; and animal science major main courses are animal tissue anatomy, animal physiology, animal biochemistry, etc..
4, employment direction is different. The employment direction of animal medicine majors include pet hospitals, farms, feed enterprises, etc.; while the employment direction of animal science majors include farms, feed enterprises, ranches and so on.
