The Department of Animal Science places strong emphasis on practical learning by immersing students in field visits to livestock farms, feed processing units, veterinary research centers, and other key sites. These excursions are designed to provide students with essential hands-on experience in animal husbandry, breeding, nutrition, and health management.
By observing real-world operations at commercial dairy farms, poultry units, and abattoirs, students gain valuable insights into modern livestock production systems, animal welfare practices, and the latest technologies in the field. These visits also offer opportunities for direct interaction with farm managers and veterinarians, allowing students to understand the challenges and innovations shaping the animal industry.
Through these experiences, students are prepared to become knowledgeable, skilled professionals equipped to contribute meaningfully to sustainable livestock development.
