The Animal Science Department offers majors in agribusiness, agricultural science,
animal husbandry, dairy husbandry, poultry science, and preprofessional
training for veterinary medicine.
The agribusiness major with an option in animal science prepares students for
positions in areas such as agricultural sales, including veterinary supplies, feeds;
appraising for insurance companies and banks; management, credit, accounting and
other office work; and general farming.
The agricultural science major with an option in animal science prepares students
for highly science-oriented job objectives and provides the necessary undergraduate
courses for students seeking advanced degrees.
The animal husbandry major prepares students for occupations in farming where
beef cattle, sheep, swine and horse enterprises are an important part of the industry.
Many graduates in this department are engaged in the livestock and farming
business or in other agribusiness occupations. The department maintains purebred
herds of Hereford, Shorthorn and Angus beef cattle; a purebred flock of Rambouillet,
Columbia, and Hampshire sheep; four breeds of swine-Berkshire, Hampshire,
Yorkshire, and Duroc; and a complement of registered quarter horses.
The dairy science major with dairy husbandry option trains students for commercial
dairy farming enterprises, dairy herd management, milk testing, fieldwork
for breeding associations, dairy sanitation, and for other agribusiness occupations.
The department maintains three breeds of purebred dairy cattle-Holsteins, Guernseys,
and Jerseys. A Grade A dairy barn, dry feed lots, bull barn, fitting and
showing barn, and a cow and calf barn provide excellent facilities for practical
training in dairy husbandry.
The poultry science major prepares students for occupations in commercial egg
production, fryer operations, breeder flock management, hatchery, processing, and
sales positions with feed companies. Many graduates operate their own turkey
and poultry farms. The poultry plant includes a central hatchery with cold storage
facilities for egg handling, grading and candling; commercial egg production and
pedigree pens; brooding facilities for conventional type houses and wire floor cage
houses.
The preveterinary program provides the first two years of training required in
veterinary medicine (see Preprofessional Programs).
The dairy industry option of the dairy science major is described under the
Agricultural Industry and Education Department.
SUPERVISED PROJECTS
The agriculture program is unique in that it provides opportunity for students
to gain both theoretical training and practical experience in farming while pursuing
their college programs. The supervised project experience is designed to supplement
the lecture and laboratory assignments, giving students greater opportunity to develop
the practical side of farming. The college owns all of the necessary equipment
for student projects. A rental fee is charged for use of equipment. Proficiency in
operating equipment must be demonstrated before projects may be undertaken.
Students sign contracts with the Fresno State College Agricultural Foundation
wherein they agree to perform the labor required in caring for their projects. The
Agricultural Foundation serves as a banking agency in providing the money a student
will or may need for project materials. Students must submit records on each
enterprise to the Agricultural Foundation and share the profit or loss with the
Foundation according to established percentages.
