ANIMAL SCIENCE II (84218)
ANIMAL SCIENCE II (84218)
This course is to introduce students to the field of production management of animals, including livestock, equine, and poultry. A historical perspective of the industry is also included. Students will be exposed to the management practices associated with the handling of animal waste, livestock breeding and genetics, and the importance of anatomy and physiology in animal management practices. Students will also be introduced to the practices associated with small animal care. A variety of hands-on learning approaches will be used for gaining the confidence needed to work in the field of animal science.

AQUACULTURE (72312)
AQUACULTURE (72312)
Aquaculture is the farming of fish and other aquatic species. But Aquaculture also includes an in-depth understanding of freshwater and marine species and ecosystems. Topics during the year include Aquatic Research, Taxonomy, Biodiversity, Aquaponics, Anatomy of Marine Invertebrates, Fish Organ Systems (dissections included), Fish Genetics, and Aquatic Ecology. There is a big hands-on component to the class, including designing, setting up and maintaining tropical fish tanks the entire year. Midyear student teams will set up aquaponics systems; aquaponics is literally “putting fish to work,” using fish waste to provide nutrients for vegetable crops. We also take field trips, sampling fish on local rivers with electrofishing gear, as well as visits to hatcheries managed by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR). We operate large recirculating systems, growing out trout to 8+ inches and partnering with DWR to grow out other species.
