UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME
(Medium of instruction is Afrikaans only)
In order to produce scientists who can serve the livestock
industry with the necessary professional skills basic scientific
support is essential. The first year of study is therefore
devoted to introducing the students to basic subjects such
as Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics. These subjects
are supplemented during the rest of the first year course
by Biochemistry, Animal Physiology and Genetics.
The undergraduate (bachelor's) programme leads to the B.Sc.Agric
degree (field: Animal Science). The programme covers the integration
of knowledge of ecology, biochemistry, physiology, nutrition,
breeding, production and product quality, as well as the management
of animal production systems for increased production and
production efficiency in an environmentally friendly and economically
efficient manner. The broad programme Animal Production Systems
is divided into the following fields of study: Animal Science
and Physiology, Biochemistry and Physiology with Animal Science,
Animal Science with Agronomy, Animal Science and Agricultural
Economics, Animal Science and Aquaculture and Animal Science
and Nature Conservation. Students following one of these fields
are thus prepared for a career as a consultant, entrepreneur,
manager, technician, agricultural extension officer, product
development manager, production manager in animal science
and related animal science industries.
The fields of study, with the majors of the programme
Animal Production Systems shown after the colon, are:
- Animal Science: Animal Science
- Animal Science with Agronomy: Animal Science
- Animal Science with Conservation Ecology: Animal
