BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION /
OUTLINE: This course is designed to help students better understand
animals. Whether you live in a rural or an urban area, a knowledge
of animal diseases, together with
health care, is very valuable. Veterinarian science goes far beyond
dealing with just the animal. It
involves the protection of human health and promotion of human welfare
by applying the arts and
sciences of medicine to animals. The improvement of animal health
safeguards our food supply.
Inspection of meat and poultry, along with the care of all food and
pet animals, controls the diseases
that directly affect mankind.
Topics covered will be the normal animal and its functions, animal
diseases and their causes, and seven
animal systems. Each student will put together a visible animal of
their choice as a project associated
with the systems.
