The degree of Bachelor of Animal Science may
be attained through study in either of two streams: Tropical Wildlife
Science or Tropical Livestock Science. Training will focus on the
biology and management of animals used for food and fibre production
and of populations of wildlife and vertebrate pests. Relevant biological
aspects will include concepts of comparative physiology, disease, nutrition,
genetics, reproduction and welfare and scientific principles for
the control and management of wildlife and vertebrate pests.
