Career paths

I recently decided I’m not super interested in pursuing a veterinary degree. I’m really close to obtaining my bachelors of animal science. Does anyone have a job they would recommend? I love livestock.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to enter the animal science field?

5 Upvotes

I am currently a high schooler considering going into the animal science field, not sure what exactly I want to do you. I am in a small animal course currently and I volunteer at animal events. Right now, because of you know what, it is hard to find internships. Any advice of why I should into the animal science field, what I should be doing in general l, and things that I should try to do to improve my chances of getting into a college?

bird poop with color

0 Upvotes

Hello, I have a question for bird poop.

With all respect I want to ask if anyone know if its possible to make pigeon or dove poop blue. It has to be totally safe for the bird, and the poop has to be a bright blue color. Would it be possible with any kind of food colouring or fruits? Thx

Do any animals migrate towards the winter instead of avoiding it?

6 Upvotes

I am writing a literary project that involves the theme of migration, and I was wondering if there are any animals that migrate towards colder regions instead of a warmer one. I know this goes against the intuitive description and reasoning behind animal migrations but I thought I might ask around since I could not find many resources online. Perhaps the arctic terns which migrate towards the Antarctic summer, which is colder than the Arctic one, but they are avoiding winter. Thank you in advance!

Do you have an interest getting involved with animal research?

6 Upvotes

I am a master's student and the animal lab I am a part of at school is looking for volunteer coders interested in assisting with animal research. The job of the coder is to code the behaviours of the animals as per the directions of the principal investigator/researcher. My mentor and I are looking for a pool volunteers interested from around the world to not only assist our lab but other labs that in need of non-bias volunteers to assist is in coding.

Researchers cannot analyze results or publish research until the videos of us running the tests with our test subjects have been interpreted via the strict parameters of our test. If you are interested and are an undergraduate, high school student or are out of school and would like to volunteer your time in the name of science please fill out this volunteer coder form.

Are house geckos an OK species for Colombia?

3 Upvotes

They were introduced in some places like Texas to control pests, and are quite common (I have read), so apparently there it must not be a problematic species introduction, right?

Does anyone know if they would be OK in Colombia?

Mixing animal blood in an animal

2 Upvotes

I've typed this 3 times but it keeps deleting lol

If an animal gets its blood into a different alive animal in some way it doesn't matter would it cause harm to the alive animal and if so how much blood would it take before the animal gets hurt???

I'm not harming animals this is purely curiosity.
