The Animal Science Curriculum Breakdown provides a broad and detailed exploration of the science behind animal care and management. The course begins with an introduction to the principles of animal science, offering a solid foundation in the biological and physical aspects of animals. Learners will explore animal anatomy and physiology, studying the internal structures and functions that are essential for understanding how animals live, grow, and interact with their environment.

As the course progresses, students will delve into key scientific topics such as cell biology and biochemistry, which are crucial for understanding the cellular processes and chemical reactions that sustain life in animals. Animal microbiology is also covered, providing insights into the microorganisms that affect animal health and their role in various ecosystems. The study of genetics and evolution will help learners understand how traits are inherited and how animals adapt to their environment over time.

Animal nutrition is a key area of the course, teaching students about the dietary needs of different species and how to ensure that animals receive proper nutrition to maintain health and vitality. The course also explores animal disease and medicine, equipping learners with the knowledge to identify, prevent, and treat common animal illnesses. Animal behavioral ecology is covered, examining how animals interact with each other and their environment, with an emphasis on behavior patterns that support survival and reproduction.

Additionally, the course includes practical modules on pet care, wildlife management, and animal welfare. Learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to care for domesticated animals, manage wildlife populations, and advocate for the ethical treatment of animals in various settings. By the end of the course, students will be well-prepared to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, whether in a veterinary, research, or conservation context.
