ANIMAL SCIENCE

WHY STUDY ANIMAL SCIENCE?

Since the emergence of modern humanity, the relationships between people and animals have been an integral part of our society, economy and culture. Animals provide us with food, clothing, recreation and companionship. Animal science—the study of the biological function of domestic and captive animals and their utilization by people—focuses on modern, efficient and humane ways to care for and make
the best use of the animals who share our lives.
