The course is designed to integrate concepts of physiology, immunology, growth biology, lactation, and pregnancy with current production systems, cultural and societal aspects of animal food production and use, and the current economic forces driving some of the production system evolution. The course is intended for majors and nonmajors with an emphasis on integrating animal biology with our current production and food systems from an Animal Science perspective. Topics include Domestication, Pre-technology Agriculture, Production Systems and Economics, Food Systems and Safety, Environmental Issues and Perspectives, Animal-Derived Food in Human Health, and Use of Animals in Biomedicine.

This course is an introduction to the natural history and the care and management of raptors (birds of prey). Approaches to captive care and maintenance, restraint, training, and captive breeding with potential for reducing pressures on wild populations of avian species will be included. A major objective is to present and discuss the scientific basis and merit of avian husbandry and breeding practices in species relevant to the course. Hands-on opportunities in basic raptor handling techniques are included.
