This will enable students to be ideally placed to ensure that the demands of production and welfare are appropriately balanced, through the development and implementation of innovative management practices and dissemination of knowledge and advice to practitioners. Throughout this course, students will be able to use a multidisciplinary approach to explore collaborations with veterinarians, scientists and the industry, learning about the latest scientific advances in the field of animal science. Students will encounter many opportunities to develop as a reflective, autonomous researcher, with a wide and expert understanding of both animal biology and its applications, and how to ensure that the demands of production and animal welfare are appropriately balanced.
