ANSC 490: Animal Behavior and Welfare (Instructor: Dr. Blair Downey)
ANSC 490 is offered every spring. This course is designed to encourage critical thought about animal welfare in human-managed species. Students analyze contemporary welfare issues and policies based on our scientific understanding of animal experiences. While the course emphasizes farm animals, it also draws on examples in zoo, lab, companion, wild, and rehabilitation settings as well.
This capstone course is intended for upper-division Animal Science undergraduates, but is open to students across disciplines.
