A course on the basic biology of animal growth and development. The course employs model systems (cell culture, fish, and mice) to examine cellular and molecular mechanisms of animal growth and development, and farm animals to discuss whole-animal growth patterns and applications of new technologies. Lectures cover (1) patterns of whole-animal growth during fetal and postnatal life; (2) molecular and cellular basis of formation and development of skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and bone; (3) regulation of growth and development by hormones and growth factors; (4) emerging molecular technologies and whole-genome approaches for improving growth and meat quality.

Integrates concepts of cattle nutrition and farm nutritional management to help students understand and appreciate factors influencing the performance of cattle under diverse conditions. Topics covered include the effect of environment on maintenance costs; the nutrient requirements for various stages of growth, lactation, and pregnancy; rumen function, feed composition and chemistry, nutrient partitioning and the environmental impacts of cattle and how to minimize them. Computer models (Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System) are used in the laboratory to actualize the information presented in lectures. Herd case studies are used in lab and there are field trips to farms to evaluate the nutritional management.

This course provides students with an understanding of the concepts and practices underlying whole-farm nutrient management planning of livestock and dairy farms. Improving profitability and efficiency are key factors considered while improving air and water quality associated with dairy production. Students learn about nutrient management on Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO’s) and conduct their own Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan on a case-study farm. This course integrates crop and manure management with nutrition and herd management to provide a broad but focused and action-oriented approach. The course utilizes two software programs developed at Cornell for nutrient management planning and herd nutritional management, the Cornell Nutrient Management Planning System and the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System. Current topics are also discussed, such as greenhouse gas emissions and impacts of dairy and livestock production and local versus global food production and environmental impacts.

Students with a focus on dairy management need to be able to communicate with the Spanish-speaking workforce, and upward mobility of that workforce depends on knowledge of cutting-edge dairy management. This is the second course of a two-sequence program that will further develop the students’ skills to be able to communicate in Spanish higher-level dairy production tasks and principles to Spanish-speaking dairy workers.
