The graduate program in livestock management gives students the foundation, the knowledge and the skills to manage a farm as a successful business enterprise. It involves understanding and mastering the integrated impact of critical farm management areas such as young stock rearing, nutrition and feeding, reproduction performance, production control, replacement decisions, genetic evaluations, health assessment and control, well-being and welfare advancement, economic and financial strength and environmental stewardship with the main purpose to promote world-class farm milk production with a competitive advantage. Core courses are practical in nature focusing on developing “troubleshooting” abilities to analyze, detect and improve the overall performance of farm operations. Students are expected to become data oriented systematic decision-makers with the use and development of computer applications and highly acquainted with diverse farm production systems such as those highly technical, those with very low resource input and everything in between.
