This course is designed to increase expertise in certain food animal skills, expose food animal students to techniques and skills not previously taught in prior courses or labs and offers opportunity to increase their food animal problem solving and critical thinking skills. This course is primarily directed toward students that wish to specialize in food animal practice or intend for food animal practice to be the majority of their overall practice. Dairy, beef, and small ruminant topics and exercises will be conducted and will include at least one “outbreak” investigation.
