Course of Applied Animal Science

The Course of Applied Animal Science offers basic and applied educational programs associated with the utilization of animal resources as food and other purposes for quality human life.

Recently, the development of biotechnological systems for animal production and new applications of domestic animals for medical support have changed the field of animal science remarkably. In this course, students will learn basic programs on reproduction, nutrition, and immunological defense systems of domestic animals for efficient production. This course is also concerned with various applications for medical support through the production of useful animals, gene analysis, and reproductive biotechnologies. In addition, our course includes the field of meat and dairy sciences, which aims to improve the function and quality of animal foods.
