You'll study farm, companion and zoo animal nutrition and the international animal feed industry. You'll learn about the latest developments in animal nutrition and consider the ethical implications associated with these trends. The programme covers the principles of nutrition including the role of diet relating to disease, feeding systems and operational management.

You will cover nutrition from the molecular level through to whole animal production systems. This includes:

  • the effects of nutrients on cellular signalling processes
  • dietary evaluation, comparative digestive physiology and feeding behaviour across farm, zoo and companion species
  • a detailed operational understanding of the animal feed industry

Site visits, case studies and guest lectures will build your industry knowledge. This helps you to apply science to real-life industry problems. You'll also use the University Farm and Dairy Centre during the course.

There is a dedicated module on research techniques. This covers writing and presentation skills, and scientific communications.
