The Role of Animal Scientists.
My time studying animal science was rewarding. I enjoyed learning how animal scientists support livestock production, animal health, disease prevention and sustainable farming, and I came to understand how much nutrition, breeding and management matter to an animal's welfare. It made me want to find ways to improve animal health and productivity. The one thing I would improve is the amount of practical work. More farm visits, hands-on training and laboratory demonstrations would help students apply what they learn in real situations. Overall, the experience expanded my knowledge, pushed me to think more deeply, and gave me a stronger appreciation for how animal science supports farmers and food production.
Agriculture, messy but extensive program
It was my first choice and I do not regret it. Although, the curriculum is way too broad for my liking and badly organized. We had plant specimen classes in winter (obviously nothing is green during the winter so the specimens are dried), which is entirely up to the lab to upkeep the specimens and 'save' details. But it is hard. The program is not always logical, since classes that have nothing to do with basic training of a crop science student are mandatory (like animal science). We have no flexibility to choose our classes and the variety of optional classes needs to be updates to keep up with new technologies. But, truth be told, even though the classes are many (around 12-15 every semester bc labs and theories are separate) it is also interesting. You learn many things and have multiple subjects to learn from. But that means almost no spewcialisation whatsoever. Many hours of studying to keep up and the result is burned out students who dont come into classes because they vcant keep up with the load in the middle of the semester. All in all, I love love love the campus. And most teachers care if you do. If you show up and ask questions you'll do just fine but burn out is inevitable.
My Study Portal
As Agriculture is the backbone of each Country, I have great interest to study and contribute to Food Security.
