13 courses with the subject ANSC, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ANSC 1010Intro to Animal Science4
Introduction to basic production and management problems of meat animals. A well-rounded picture of the scope, importance, and operation of livestock farms and ranches is presented. Consideration is given to livestock judging, feedlot operation, and marketing and processing of meat animals.
ANSC-L006 must be taken at the same time as this course.
ANSC 1070Livestock Fitting and Showing1
This is a basic course covering fitting and showing techniques for domestic livestock. Students will have the opportunity to fit an animal of their choice (animals are provided or may be students with instructor approval) and participate in a National Livestock Show.
A basic course covering breeds of livestock, fundamentals of livestock selection, and proper methods of livestock judging. Designed for those with little or no previous livestock judging experience.
ANSC 1210 must be completed with a grade of C or better.
ANSC 2020Feeds and Feeding4
This course will include the review of basic principles of chemistry, classification of nutrients and feeds; basic digestive anatomy and physiology in simple stomach animals, ruminants, and nonruminant herbivores; basic nutritive processes including ingestion, digestion, absorption, circulation, metabolism, and excretion; and specific feeding programs for various classes of domestic and companion animals.
Students will learn the principles of proper handling, proper management and husbandry procedures/practices, proper animal care (including cattle, swine, sheep, and goats), treatment methods, and the application of those principles and methods relative to today’s production and industry settings. Teaches basic behavior of livestock species including cattle, swine, sheep, and goats. Apply knowledge to effectively learn humane handling techniques and facility design for low-stress management.
Course Fee: $25.00 Course offered Spring only. This course emphasizes a profit-oriented approach to beef cattle production and management making decisions. Different management systems are discussed. Computer software programs are utilized in labs to show the benefit of a good record system as a management tool. Integrates information learned in other classes such as 176
Students will learn the principles of managing the life cycle and production of livestock. The course will develop a process by which students are able to integrate life cycle management into production decisions to maximize the economic return to the production system. Genetics, reproduction, herd development and management along with other modern production principles will be taught in a hands-on environment.
This course is designed for the competitive livestock judging team to further advance their skills in terms of live animal evaluation, oral reasons, and performance data evaluation. Extreme time and dedication will be involved with travel to competitive contests and practices.
Subjects covered in this course include basic animal anatomy and physiological processes, general principles of disease and disease resistance including classification of causes, diseases transmissible from animals to man (zoonosis), poisons and poisonous plants, chemotherapeutic agents and disinfectants, immunization principles and programs, specific infectious diseases and the effects of season, and parasitic diseases and the effects of season, and parasitic diseases.
Topics in this course include a brief review of chemical principles relevant to nutrition; classification of nutrients and feeds; basic anatomy and physiology of the digestive systems of domestic animals; basic nutritive processes including ingestion, digestion, absorption, circulation, metabolism, and excretion; specific feeding programs for various classes of cattle, swine, horses, and companion animals. Basic ration formulations for beef cattle and small animals are stressed as are other species on a comparative basis.
