ASC261 Animal Reproduction (8)
Reproduction is central to the efficiency of livestock production industries and the breeding and management of companion animals and wildlife. Successful reproduction is dependent on managers and carers having a sound knowledge of reproductive principles. This subject is designed to develop the basic understanding of the reproductive anatomy, physiology, endocrinology and behaviour in selected farm, companion animals and wildlife species. Students will have the opportunity to examine strategies to control reproduction and gain hands on experience in reproductive evaluation and fertility management of livestock.
