Students examine the biological basis for animal behaviour, animal welfare, environmental physiology, and animal health. They also examine the role and importance of legislation and voluntary codes of practice in animal welfare and animal health. The course will enable the student to analyze and select handling practices, housing options, biosecurity, and disease prevention options that meet the needs of the animal and the enterprise. Lectures cover the principles that are common to all species, and the labs and tutorial sessions focus on more specialized topics that are relevant to the management of bovine, equine, and other ruminant species.
