Overview

The Bachelor of Science Animal Systems at University of Manitoba provides students with a firm understanding of animal production, including genetics, anatomy/physiology, nutrition, health and reproduction. It also provides courses in business management and communications.

Compared to similar programs in most other Canadian agriculture faculties, the Animal Systems program at the University of Manitoba places a greater emphasis on practical production and the use of science to make informed choices in production.

Research facilities at the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences include the Glenlea Research Station, which accommodates multidisciplinary and livestock research and is home to the National Centre for Livestock and the Environment. This is a University of Manitoba-based research community that engages in multi-disciplinary research partnerships to further the long term economic and environmental sustainability of integrated livestock and crop production systems.
