- AGRI 1010 FUNDAMENTALS OF ANIMAL SCIENCE F (4:4:0)
The historical perspective and importance of animal production will be examined relative to time, society and geographical location. The contribution of animal production and related food products to our society will be covered. Scientific selection, breeding, feeding and management will be studied as they relate to efficiency of production of the various farm animals and consumer demand.
- AGRI 1100 CAREERS EXPLORATION IN AGRIBUSINESS F (2:2:0)
A survey of agriculture business and an examination of careers in the private sector and in the public, government and service agencies. Emphasis will be on opportunities in the Western United States.
- AGRI 1320 PRODUCTION OF LIVESTOCK FEEDS F (2:2:0)
The production, harvesting and utilization of forage and cereal crops grown in the Inter-mountain Region will be examined. This course will focus on the interaction of soil, water and other plant growth factors as basic livestock feeds are grown and harvested.
- AGRI 1420 LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION PRACTICES S (2:1:2)
Agriculture production enterprises will be examined and production practices investigated as students are exposed to the changing field of animal agriculture.
- AGRI 1997, 1998, 1999 COOPERATIVE EDUCATION EXPERIENCE (1ST YEAR) TBA (1-6 Cr.)
An opportunity for majors to apply knowledge and techniques learned in the classroom to an actual job experience. Classroom instruction must precede the job experience or the student must be registered for courses at the same time the student is enrolled in the work experience.
- AGRI 2200 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS (IC) F (3:3:0)
A study of animal body construction and system function. Each system is studied separately with emphasis on the digestive and reproductive systems.
Prerequisite: AGRI 220L concurrently
-
- AGRI 220L ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS (LAB) F (1:0:2)
A laboratory setting letting students physically examine domestic animal tissues organs and systems.
Prerequisite: AGRI 2200 concurrently
- AGRI 2400 LIVESTOCK FEEDS AND FEEDING S (4:4:0)
A study of the differences in digestive tracts of farm animals. Physiology of digestion and feed utilization of the various species is studied. The composition of feeds and their uses are analyzed. Least cost rations are balanced for farm animals and pets using a pencil, a calculator and computer.
- AGRI 2500 ANIMAL BREEDING S (4:4:0)
A study of the principles involved in breeding animals including mating systems, performance testing and progeny testing. Reproductive physiology and artificial insemination will be covered as well as basic genetic and inheritance interactions. Students will be introduced to production selection principles such as indexing, heritability and genetic selection for the improvement of farm animals.
- AGRI 2800 SELECTED PRACTICES IN AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION TBA (1-2 cr.)
This is a class where the instructor can evaluate and give credit for student projects that are credit worthy. These projects will be agreed upon by the student and the agriculture department head before the projects are undertaken.
- AGRI 2980 TBA (1-2 Cr.) SPECIAL PROJECTS
Involves a special project where there is a demonstrated need which cannot be met through enrollment in a regularly scheduled course. Also could include special projects of unusual merit in furthering a student’s professional goals. Student must be able to sustain and complete independent learning projects. Provides a framework for developing and enhancing student abilities to do lucid thinking. Requires approval of advisor, division dean and curriculum committee.
