The curriculum for a major in animal sciences and industry includes studies in nutrition, genetics, reproduction, behavior, physiology, business and technology, production, management, and agribusiness skills. Beef and dairy cattle, sheep, swine, horses, goats, companion animals, and poultry are involved as part of students' study. Career opportunities in animal sciences range from self-employment to jobs with large corporations. K-State animal science graduates are employed by artificial insemination services, feed companies, banks, equipment suppliers, meat packers, food processors, feedlots, poultry breeders, equipment manufacturers, equine breeding and training ranches, pet food companies, and pharmaceutical companies. Courses in the department give instruction in selection, breeding, feeding, management, and marketing of beef and dairy cattle, horses, poultry, sheep, swine, and companion animals, as well as instruction in the processing and use of the products these animals provide. There are six options of study to choose from: animal products, bioscience/biotechnology, business, communications, production/management, and science/pre-vet. In addition to classrooms, office space, and laboratories located in Weber and Call Halls, the department maintains several animal and poultry units within easy access to the campus that house the beef and dairy cattle, horses, swine, sheep, and poultry used for teaching and research.
