AS 3121 - Livestock Behavior

The purpose of AS-9915 is to provide a basic understanding of the principles and concepts of animal behavior. These principles and concepts will be applied and discussed mainly in the context of domestic livestock species including, but not limited to cattle (Bos taurus; Bos indicus), swine (Sus scrofa), sheep (Ovis aries), goats (Capra hircus), chickens (Gallus domesticus), and horses (Equus caballus). The material in this course provides a sound foundation for students wishing to embark on advanced study or research in the field. In the associated lab, students will attain hands-on experience in the handling and husbandry of domestic livestock animals by applying lecture concepts to real-world situations.
