Overview

The Bachelor of Animal Science - Animal Nutrition and Growth at Massey University will help you understand how what animals eat affects their growth and health.

The New Zealand meat industry is well recognised around the world for its pasture-raised product. In New Zealand we also have world-leading industries raising poultry and pigs. Nutrition is also extremely important for sport and companion animals. Improving nutrition can optimise the performance of animals in all these industries.
