ANIMAL SCIENCE I 127 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 experience in farming while pursuing their university programs. The supervised project experience is designed 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 equrpment 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 mate rials. Students must submit records on each enterpris 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 production projects. Animal science students may, with prior approval of the department, engage in self-financed projects. Concurrent registration in Agri 106, Entetprise Management, required. COURSES Note: Active immunization against tetanus (avat1able through the Student Health Service) is a prerequisite for registration in any laboratory course in agriculture and for any student employment on the University Farm. ANIMAL SCIENCE (A Sci) 10.
