What is Animal Science?

Animal science is a field of study that focuses on the biology, management, and production of domesticated animals, including livestock and companion animals. It involves the study of animal genetics, nutrition, reproduction, behavior, and management practices, as well as the ways in which these factors affect animal health, productivity, and welfare. Animal scientists may work in a variety of areas, including animal breeding and genetics, animal nutrition, animal behavior, and welfare, animal physiology, and animal management and production systems. The goal of animal science is to improve the efficiency and sustainability of animal production while also ensuring the health and well-being of animals.
