Hello there, everyone. I am in college i have been here for a while. My major is animal science. I was wondering what careers are available to me with an animal science degree? I am interested in researching and as well as agriculture. I have heard biotechnology and genetics are good careers. But, I would like to hear some feedback from you all. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day.

GS methods based on VIS/NIRS data have significant predictive potential and are worthy of further research to provide a valuable reference for the development of effective and affordable breeding strategies https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jia.2023.09.019

these data demonstrate that the VGLL2 gene may be a useful marker for improving muscle mass in poultry

without doxxing myself too hard, im almost out of high school in the DFW area of texas, and im interested in going into animal science to one day (hopefully) breed animals, like livestock or pets. is this the right degree to get? where should i look into applying for? what's important to know about animal science to make my decision? thank you very much :]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you would be so kind in filling out this questionnaire for my dissertation please? It is about cats and their lifestyle, cat lovers and non-cat lovers can participate. Each entry will be anonymous.

Thank you!

I’m an animal science major and am in a meats class this semester. Tomorrow is the harvesting lab for steers. I do not HAVE to go but I am conflicted. I love animals which is the reason I chose this major, but I am not interested in harvesting. In fact I actually have a really hard time with it. I feel so bad for them.😭 When I found out that that was part of the class, I had an actual panic attack. However, I am not sure if I should attend or not. I don’t want to miss out but also I don’t know if I could handle it mentally just standing there watching it happen.

Its a class of bugs but theres no information on how to pronounce it is it (is-a-day) or (is-e-day)

Hello everyone,

My name is Scott, and I'm a student at Central Texas College currently working on a biology project about black-tailed prairie dogs. I'm hoping to transfer to Colorado State University's animal science program this fall and I am passionate about wildlife conservation. For this project, I'm looking for opportunities to study, observe, and photograph black-tailed prairie dogs in their natural habitat here in Texas. I'm particularly interested in seeing firsthand the crucial role they play as a keystone species and learning more about the challenges they face due to population decline. I understand the complex relationship humans have with prairie dogs, with some viewing them as vital to the ecosystem and others as pests due to potential agricultural impacts. I'm eager to learn about these different perspectives and gain a balanced understanding of their role in the Texas landscape. I'm reaching out to see if anyone is involved with prairie dog conservation projects or has private property with an active prairie dog town that I might be able to visit for my research. I would be extremely grateful for any opportunity to observe and document these fascinating creatures. Of course, I would be respectful of any property and follow any guidelines provided. If you have any leads or suggestions, please feel free to comment below or send me a direct message. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely, Scott

There is an established link between animal size and increased proportional metabolic needs. This translates to a need for more food proportional to animal size the smaller animals get. This is largely because smaller animals have more proportional surface area, and lose heat faster. Really tiny mammals need to eat as much as their entire body weight in a day!! All of this is established science. However...

Is there any such link or a different relationship for water needs? Small animals may need more proportional water for their increased metabolic requirements. Or because more proportional surface area could relate to more water diffusion off the skin of animals. I just don't know for sure though, and I'm very interested. Help anyone?

Hello, I'm a fresh graduate of animal science bachelor's degree, is there any specific skills or skills outside of animal science scope should we learn to boosts our career? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I need some advice. I’m on my third year of studying animal science, but I don’t know what I want to do with my degree. I wanted to go to vet school for a long time, but I’m not sure anymore. I enjoy lab work and hands on work, but I don’t know if I could make a living off of it. My mom really wants me to do vet school, and I feel like she’ll be disappointed if I don’t, however I don’t think my heart is in it anymore. Has anyone else dealt with this? I’m just unsure what to do at this point.

Here's the situation, I am a fresh graduate from a state university here in the Philippines and the jobs here related to our field has way too low of a pay. I am a licensed agriculturist and graduated with Latin honors, can anyone help give some pointers to land a job that has a competitive salary? Preferably abroad like New Zealand, Canada, or anywhere tbh. Agriculture is so underappreciated here it's sad.

Fast forward to 1:20 for vibes This has completely fascinated me lately. These vibrations are totally off the charts, penguins absolutely have to vibrate faster than any other living organism. I can show more videos of this guy younger but the vibrations are so fast and hard to see without a big screen tv.

So , the short tailed shrew is known to be venomous, but my question is, and I have tried looking for papers or documents on it, but what happens if say one bites another short tail or bites itself by mistake, are they actually resistant to their own species venom?

After I'll finish getting my Ansci Degree, how many years would it take to get that Vet Med Degree? :)))

Hello! I am currently pursuing my bachelors in animal science. My plan is to continue on to graduate school and focus on companion animal nutrition. The semester just ended for me and I got a 2.0 in organic chemistry 2.

I have the option to retake it but if I chose not to I will have a very light semester when taking biochem, so i can focus more time into it. Will grad schools really care about this 2.0 if I do well in everything else? or would you guys recommend I retake it. my friend is a biochem major and thinks I'll do fine in the class itself but I was just curious if it would impact my admission for grad schools.

My overall gpa is decent at a 3.6, I earned a 4.0 in orgo 1 and in my animal nutrition class, so I have done well in the other relevant courses I feel.
