BSc (Hons) Agriculture with Animal Science
With a long history in applied livestock research, close links with industry, and highly qualified and experienced staff, Harper Adams is well placed to develop your understanding of sustainable livestock production.
The temperate climate of the UK is ideally suited to pastoral farming and livestock production is essential to the rural economy, with around 54 per cent of UK agricultural output derived from the livestock sector (DEFRA 2020).
In addition to the science and technology associated with modern livestock production, livestock specialists need to understand the animal welfare, food quality and environmental issues facing the industry. They must also be able to evaluate and apply advances in biotechnology to ensure a sustainable future for livestock farmers and a competitive market for animal products.
After a common first year, in your second year you will start to specialise in the area of animal science, studying areas such as farm animal production science, farm animal nutrition, farm animal health and welfare and biotechnology, whilst continuing to study more general aspects of agriculture, such as grass and forage production, waste management and farm business management and economics.
In the final part of the course, your specialisation becomes complete and the focus is on animal science, studying areas such as sustainable animal production systems, advances in animal production science, animal breeding and bioethics, animal product processing and a research project focused on animal science tailored to your interests and ambitions.
