About the course

The Department of Animal Sciences and Industry is a comprehensive unit supported by about 50 faculty devoted to research, teaching, and extension activities related to domestic farm animal species. Currently, the department has approximately 1,000 undergraduate students advised in the department and about 60 graduate students pursuing either M.S. or Ph.D. degrees in the Animal Science graduate program. For graduate training, the department has animal research and teaching units located conveniently to the main campus. Those units include beef (grazing and feedlot), dairy, swine, sheep, poultry, and horse teaching and research units. In addition, both Call Hall and Weber Hall contain laboratories equipped to conduct most analytical techniques required for research. Graduate training in the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry is organized within six functional discipline groups including animal breeding and genetics, meat science, monogastric nutrition, physiology, ruminant nutrition, and food science. The food science program represents a large interdisciplinary degree program and is detailed in a separate area in the catalog.

　　Animal Sciences and Industry (ASI) graduate students pursuing a Ph.D. degree in physiology will be exposed to a comprehensive, interdisciplinary program that may consist of multiple species including cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, and poultry. Physiology course work and seminars span across many areas within ASI and across related departments including statistics, biochemistry, biology, psychology, and anatomy and physiology. Graduate students have the opportunity to develop teaching skill sets by contributing to our extensive ASI undergraduate program, and many students assist with our state and regional extension efforts. Research expertise can be gained in multiple areas across physiology, including basic research in molecular, cellular, and tissue function, translational research in endocrinology, gamete function, embryology, stress physiology, immunology, and neurobehavioral mechanisms, and applied research in reproduction, health, behavior, and animal welfare. Graduate training in physiology prepares students for various careers in animal and biotechnological industries, research, teaching, technical services, consulting, youth and adult extension, and related fields of animal physiology.
