AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES I 93
241. Endocrine and Reproductive Physiology (3)
Prerequisite: Chern 8. Physiology which deals with neural and hormonal integration and
control of the animal body, including scientific aspects of the processes of reproduction and
application of current knowledge in improving reproductive efficiency.
