5.2 Bachelor of Science        (Agriculture) 5.2.2 Animal Systems Program Chair: J.D. House Telephone: 204-474-9523

Office: 231 Animal Science Bldg

The Animal Systems program, which students enter after completing University 1, will provide an integrated and comprehensive study of the factors and processes associated with the science of animal production. The program will be based on a strong foundation in the scientific disciplines underlying growth and reproduction in animals and how they respond to a range of environmental systems and constraints.
