Animal Biosciences (PhD)
The PhD offered in the Department of Animal Biosciences focus on animals of significance in food production, with four main areas of research:
- Animal Breeding and Genetics (quantitative or molecular)
- Animal Nutrition (monogastric or ruminant)
- Animal Physiology (environmental and reproductive)
- Animal Behaviour and Welfare
The PhD program is research-oriented and provides instruction and experiences that will develop students' abilities to independently formulate hypotheses and design and execute experiments or conduct observational studies to reach definitive conclusions.
