Veterinary Degrees Online

Stages 1 and 2: You receive a broad introduction to agriculture (see ‘Agriculture – All Degrees’ below).

Stage 3: Core modules develop key areas relating to animal production science such as animal breeding and growth; farm animal nutrition; and forage utilisation. Optional modules enable you to obtain expertise in related areas such as product quality and marketing; animal welfare and environment; or tropical animal production. You are encouraged to compare and contrast different livestock enterprises and to integrate scientific knowledge into sound production systems, considering the demands of both the market and the population. There are visits to look at livestock systems on farms and at research centres.
Agriculture – All Degrees

Our degree programmes provide an in-depth understanding of agriculture at both farm and industrial levels, based on agricultural sciences, production studies and business management. You are introduced to a range of farming practices on the University’s and other farms.

Each of our agricultural degrees carries a specialist theme (or Honours Option) which allows you to study a particular area of agriculture in detail. These Honours Options reflect different career paths available after graduation.

Whichever Honours Option you apply for, modules in Stages 1 and 2 are common. This means that if you are unsure which Honours Option is right for you, you can defer your decision until the end of Stage 2.

Stage 1: This covers all the basic scientific and quantitative aspects of the subject such as soil, crop and animal science, and economics. You are also introduced to laboratory work and develop skills in microcomputing. A series of visits to the University farms covers some of the more practical aspects of agriculture.

Stage 2: You apply the principles established in Stage 1 to both animal and crop production and to farm management.

Stage 3: Following one of the four Honours Options allows you to study, in depth, an area of agriculture that particularly interests you. Each Honours Option balances compulsory core modules with a wide range of additional choices making up a third of the modules taken in the final year. You also write a dissertation on a subject of your choice

Classes are geared to meet the needs of professional training to be supported in the teacher as facilitator and mediator of the teaching-learning process favoring the construction of knowledge. On this principle there was in the structure of the course of Veterinary Medicine University of Castelo Branco the need for deployment of nuclei formed by the faculty to develop with the support of the joint coordination between education research and extension as follows:
Center for Extension: develops along the course and scope of community projects implementing routines of work in strategic areas such as public health / preventive veterinary medicine and animal production technology inspection of animal products breeding clinical pathology clinical pathology and surgery in addition to the development of veterinary programs with the rural community. This core consists of a permanent team of teachers who are responsible for planning and overseeing the creation of extension activities.
The core of the extension plan and manage the coordination of ongoing activities complementary.
Nucleus Research: aims to stimulate the development of scientific initiation with effective participation of faculty and students. The results of true scientific congresses seminars in weeks publications in journals and magazines among other techniques. The center also promotes interaction with public and private bodies to promote the research and coordinate the creation of a scientific journal of veterinary research publications with UCB in that institution.
Besides the routine activities of this core responsibility to manage all the same faculty that is developing search. In each case the teacher involved is a member of the core.
Accordingly the University has White Castle under the coordination of the Pro-Rectory of Research and Graduate Studies an institutional program of research that addresses the scientific initiation of students to the granting of scholarships and funding of projects developed by students and teachers.
Thus it aims to stimulate the conduct of experiments and research projects in various areas of work of the professional seeking constantly insert it into practical activities enabling integrated and interdisciplinary academic experience in routines and thus improving the learning process. In this process takes place the internship / work articulated extension activities that contribute to the improvement of vocational training.

Animal industry science consists of the basic studies of industrial animals including livestock
and their application and the study of how they are related with social environments.
Specialized courses comprise Division of Animal Business Management and Informatives where students learn and study various phases of food production, consumption promotion, and preservation of environments; Division of Nature Management and Agricultural Economics whose major concern is the collaboration and coexistence between urban consumptive areas and rural productive areas; Division of Animal Nutrition whose major concern is about what kinds of grass are effective to herbivorous animals and to what extent, the utility of microorganisms, the improvement of chicken eggs. etc.; Division of Animal Physiology where investigations are carried out on such topics as the mechanism of chicken’s blood production, the relationship between the protein metabolism and the efficient production of chicken; Division of Animal Breeding and Reproduction where they study how to improve the quality of milk, and how it is inherited, and the mechanism of embryo and the possibility of its human manipulation; Division of Animal Biochemistry where they investigate, for example, how micronutrients work on the flesh of herbivorous animals.

In general, there has been inadequate animal identification, poor record keeping, and unrestric ted breeding in the native flocks of the province, which has limited the efforts to measure individual animal’s performance. Consequently the genetic potential of the native stock has been never adequately assessed particularly in relation to certain traits as disease resistance, fertility and adaptability to the usually difficult environment in which they must survive and produce. In addition, there are areas in which the extensive crossing between local and exotic sheep in Hazara and Swat, etc, and cattle throughout the province, has resulted in a continuum of genetic types. Attempts to characterize local animals, evaluate their genetic potentials and design coordinated large-scale selection breeding and genetic improvement programs are further complicated when there are few distinct breeds and only highly varied or non-descript stock from which to choose individuals for production trials. The lack of livestock performance data also hampers efforts to develop productive animals specifically adapted for introduction to a particular ecological zone.

Keeping in view the above field conditions and the students interest in this specialization, it was realized that independent department in Animal Breeding and Genetics be established to launch a specialized postgraduate degree (MSc and PhD) program. The new specialization program has replaced the MSc Hons Animal Husbandry composite degree program with the course work jointly offered by other departments and thesis research in the specializations. Since the department established in 2004, about six students were registered in the field. Courses in Animal Breeding and Genetics have also been part of the curricula of undergraduate classes.

Research facilities

The research activities of the department include generating baseline data on the performance of indigenous ruminant animals in order to initiate selection procedures for upgrading the genetic potential of indigenous stock. The survival, fertility and performance of local and local/exotic crosses will be compared in order to identify superior types, well adapted to local conditions. These individuals can then serve as foundation stock in well planned breeding programs designed to produce animals for distribution to the small holders. In addition to our own model farm, the department is linked with other three research stations and its students have easy access to the private farms where joint research studies are under way to test their research themes right on farm level.

What is Animal Science?
Animal Science encompasses the fields of poultry, swine, dairy, beef, equine, and veterinary medicine.

Students in this Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree program can select from one of the following concentrations: Dairy Processing, Dairy Production, Equine Science, General Animal Science, Livestock Production, and Pre-Veterinary Medicine. Each concentration allows students to focus on specific educational and career goals. Animal Science provides instruction and practical experience in judging, breeding, feeding and managing livestock. Through course selection, students prepare for livestock farming, management, business, or graduate study in Animal Science or Veterinary Medicine. Directed electives allow special training for work with animal-feed companies; milk, egg or poultry operations; food-processing industries; managerial or marketing groups; supply and equipment cooperatives; agricultural extension services; public relations; and other organizations associated with animal production and management.

Careers in Animal Science

Animal Science graduates follow a wide range of career paths such as food-processing management, poultry-plant management, feed and equipment sales, animal breeding and management, horse training, and veterinary school.
