ANIMAL SCIENCE I 121 Animal Science Laboratory Units: Theoretical instruction in animal sciences is enhanced through practical application at the various laboratory units. These units include the Beef Husbandry Laboratory, Horse Husbandry Laboratory, Sheep Husbandry Laboratory, Swine Husbandry Laboratory, Dairy Husbandry Laboratory, Poultry Husbandry Laboratory, Meats Laboratory, Veterinary and Physiology Laboratory, and Feed Mill Laboratory. SUPERVISED PROJECTS The agricultural sciences program is unique in that it provides opportunity for students to gain both theoretical training and practical e xperience in farming while pursuing their university programs. The supervised project experience is des.igned to supplement the lecture and laboratory assignments, giving students greater opportunity to develop the practical side of farming. The university owns all of the necessary equipment for student projects. A rental fee is charged for use of equipment. Proficiency in operating equipment must be demonstrated before projects may be undertaken. Students sign contracts wherein they agree to perform the labor required in caring for their projects. The Agricultural Foundation serves as a banking agency in providing the money a student will or may need for project materials. Students must submit records on each ente~prise to the Agricultural Foundation and share the profit or loss with the Foundation according to established percentages. In the Animal Science Department, students may feed out steers, lambs, pigs, fryers or turkeys, or have commercial egg l)roduction projects. Animal science students may, with prior approval of the department, engage in self-financed projects. Concurrent registration in Agri 106, Enterprise Management, required. COURSES Note: Active immunization against tetanus (availiJble through the Student Heslth Service) is a prerequisite for regislrah'on in any laboratory course in agn·culture llild for any student employment 011 tbe University Farm. ANIMAL SCIENCE (A Sci) 10. Animal Science (3) Types and breeds of farm animals and poultry in the United States; world distribution, adaptation, production methods; foods and products produced by farm animals, and their role in supplying food £or ll hungry world. IOL. Animal Science Laboratory (I) Pre requisite: A Sci 10 (or concurrently) . Laboratory practices to accompany A Sci 10. (2 lab hours) 70. Comparative Nutrition (3) Prerequisite: Chern 2A or concurrent. Principles of nutrition; nutrients and their metabolism; comparison of qualitative nutrient requirements of monogastric and ruminant animals and man; role of animal food products in human nutrition. 80. Undergraduate Re1earch (1-4; max total 4) Open to freshmen and sophomores with permission of instructor. Exploratory work on a suitable agricultural problem in animal science. 105. Advanced Animal Science Laboratory (2) Prerequisite: A Sci 10 or permission of instructor.
