Undergraduate Instruction in Animal Husbandry

George A. Brown

Michigan State College

Abstract

The subject of undergraduate instruction in Animal Husbandry is a broad one and must be approached from several angles. First consideration should be given to the youth whom we are instructing and the place which he hopes to fill after completing his college course.

Undoubtedly, the group who will return to the farm and make livestock production its life work is our most important one. Others needing the same background of training are: the prospective teacher of vocational agriculture, the extension worker and the research worker in the fields of genetics and nutrition.

Other groups who must be considered in undergraduate instruction are:

1. Students interested in obtaining commercial positions in the field of farm management, meats, or livestock marketing. 2. Students primarily interested in commercial seed production or horticulture who will be dependent upon livestock as a means of maintaining soil fertility and the utilization of by-products. 3. Students seeking a general education for personal improvement but without a definite aim in life.
