Program overview
Animal Husbandry, simply put, is the study of how to scientifically raise animals. You will learn core topics such as animal nutrition, feed formulation, breeding and genetics, environmental control in farming, and disease prevention. Courses include Animal Physiology, Animal Nutrition, Feed Science, Livestock Reproduction, and Animal Production Systems. Chinese universities have a strong practical focus in this field, with many schools owning experimental farms where you can directly work with common livestock like pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens. This major is suitable for students who love animals, enjoy hands-on work, and are interested in agriculture and food production. If you don't mind the occasional animal smell and like working outdoors or on farms, it's a great fit.
