ZOO 114 — Domestic Animal Industries
This Zoo Technology clinical will provide students with an introduction to the domestic animal industries- horse, dairy, beef, sheep/goat, swine, poultry, and pet. Students will identify common breeds and study terminology, housing, nutrition, reproduction, economics and health issues. Lectures, laboratories and field trips will introduce students to different management systems for livestock and domestic animals. Additionally, students will gain experience working with domestic animals and participate at a JCC zoo technology supported function outside of regularly scheduled class time. Field trips to animal operations will illustrate lecture concepts. Hands-on laboratory time will operate as a workplace simulation with attention to safety, professionalism and teamwork while working with domestic farm species.
