The Animal Science (MSc) program equips you for a professional path aligned with your interests, spanning animal behavior, genetics, nutrition, or physiology. This curriculum combines fundamental and practical scientific approaches in animal production technology, enabling graduates to adapt to evolving industry demands. The Department of Animal Science provides advanced studies culminating in MSc and PhD degrees, covering livestock and poultry health, genetics, nutrition, physiology, gut microbiology, meat science, and immunology.
Our graduate programs allow exploration and investigation across multiple animal science disciplines. Areas of focus encompass nutrition (for both single-stomach and ruminant animals), physiology (digestive, environmental, reproductive systems), animal welfare (health management, productivity, behavioral studies), meat science, food safety, and core scientific fields (immunology, microbiology, molecular biology). Primary research species involve cattle (beef and dairy varieties), poultry (broilers, layers, turkeys), swine, and wildlife species like bison.
