Master of Science - Animal Science

Program Overview

Program description:-

The department of animal science offers graduate instruction leading to MSc and PhD degrees. Courses of study and research may be undertaken in several disciplines related to animal science including basic sciences. These include nutrition (monogastric and ruminant), physiology (digestive, environmental, reproductive), meat science, food safety and basic sciences (immunology, microbiology, molecular biology). Experimental species include cattle (beef and dairy), poultry (chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese), sheep, swine, laboratory animals (mice, rats, rabbits), and wildlife animals. Some faculty members also have an interest in human disease processes. Our department has a strong emphasis on sustainable agricultural systems and the use of mathematical models to describe these systems.

MSc Programs:-
Admission to these programs normally requires a bachelor of science in agriculture degree with a major in animal science; however, students with other degrees (e.g. BSc honours or general in science) may be accepted. In these latter instances, students - depending on their academic background - may be required to complete a pre-master's program or to register for courses additional to those normally required in the master's program. A minimum grade point average (G.P.A.) of 3.5 in the last two full years of undergraduate study are required.

The master's programs require a minimum of one year of study and research.

There are two types of master's programs.
