48 Animal Husbandry Degree Programs

The Master's Degree Course aims to obtain a professional figure specialized in the management of animal production systems within a circular economic approach. This goal is achieved by combining specific skills in the field of animal metabolism, its multiple connections with the issues of animal efficiency and health, and advanced notions on the circular management of intensive production.

The doctoral study program Animal Husbandry, Animal Nutrition, and Biochemistry is an academically focused study program, corresponding to the current state and level of science and the needs of practice in Europe. Graduates of the doctoral study Animal Husbandry, Animal Nutrition and Biochemistry gained in-depth theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired through independent creative activity and the acquisition of new scientific knowledge in the field of study. Graduates can share actively their knowledge in the field of study at the international level and publicly. Based on this qualification, graduates are mainly employed at research institutions and universities.

European Master in Animal Breeding and Genetics

The Animal and Human Interaction program offers an opportunity to apply modern knowledge, methods and technologies in animal and human interaction practice, deal with challenges arising from constant changes in the human-animal relationships, empowers graduates to carry out independent analysis of problems associated with therapeutic animals and evaluate its results. The goals of this program are to educate students to take on responsibility for shaping the human-animal relationships in science and society, both scientifically and ethically.

The consecutive master's program "Integrated Plant and Animal Breeding" uses an interdisciplinary and research-oriented approach to convey the basic theories, methods, processes and issues of breeding in agricultural and forestry sciences. The primary goal of the course is to enable graduates to carry out in-depth scientific work. Students are qualified for international specialist and management tasks and specifically prepared for corresponding research activities related to foreign countries.

The Master’s degree in Animal Science aims at meeting the needs of both graduates with previous work experience, wishing to improve their professional status, and graduates holding a first-cycle degree, willing to improve their skills in livestock farming.

Future livestock models must be based on sustainability, within the framework of competitive production systems that are respectful of animal welfare. Animal genetic improvement not only contributes to the sustainability of productions and increases their profitability, but also allows, through new technologies, to improve their efficiency and adapt them to the divergent demand of consumers. Thus, population and quantitative genetics, molecular genetics and reproductive biotechnology are currently basic subjects in livestock development.

Launch your future in the livestock industry with Lakeland’s Diploma in Animal Science Technology: Livestock Science Major. Our courses are species-specific. You’ll choose between beef and dairy production for your in-depth study, but you’ll also learn about bison, horses and other livestock.

The Diploma in Animal Science Technology Diploma: Dairy Science Major has activities ranging from practical herd management to implementing new technologies. You’ll graduate armed with the knowledge and tools to return to the farm or to make your mark in another area of the dairy sector.

The Diploma in Animal Science Technology Diploma: Beef Science Major will make you go beyond the classroom and into the real world, from pasture to plate. You’ll study commercial and purebred cow/calf operations as well as feedlots.  And, you’ll go through the complete production cycle.

The program objectives are to train students to become researchers in the field of genetics and breeding and eventually become independent plants and animal breeders, based on their in-depth genetic understanding.

Livestock production has evolved in recent decades, currently facing social challenges beyond providing food for the population. The production of quality and safe food, respecting the environment and animal welfare and preserving the economic and social viability of the sector has led to a change in the sector's paradigm.

MUCAL offers comprehensive training in the management of experiments involving the use of animals, both in the laboratory and for other scientific purposes, as well as in the management of the resulting data to generate knowledge, equipping students to develop careers in research centers, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and other companies in the scientific sector.

The MSc in Animal Husbandry Engineering is designed to develop your undergraduate knowledge and improve it through application and research.

The AS degree with designation in Animal Sciences prepares students for careers in Animal Husbandry, the Beef Industry, Cattle Production, Ranching, Livestock Management, Livestock Nutrition, Veterinary Medicine, the Sheep Industry, the Swine Industry, and more.
