CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Animal Nutritionists analyse food resources and mix energy-yielding raw materials with protein-rich products to form balanced diets. In this way raw materials not acceptable to humans are converted into milk, meat, eggs, wool and leather.

Animal Breeders use mathematic-statistical and reproduction physiological methods to improve farm animals genetically in order to achieve faster growth and to produce more with less feed, or to yield a product of higher quality.

Animal Production Experts concentrate on the quality of animal products by making full use of their knowledge of biochemistry, physiology and the entire spectrum of animal science.
