Overview

Animal Science from University of Manitoba includes 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. At the University of Manitoba we offer a master degree in Animal Science.

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.

Careers

A degree in animal science from the University of Manitoba is designed to ensure students graduate with a strong basis in animal anatomy, nutrition, reproduction, genetics, and management, as well as key skills like oral and written communication.

This makes our graduates highly desirable employees across a number of agricultural sectors in Canada and internationally.

The department has strong ties with other research centres and companies within the livestock industry. These connections help graduates find gainful employment soon after completion of the program.
