Animal Science PAC
Introduction
Life
begins as a simple cell. However, the process of development is far
from simple. All living things are made up of many microscopic
cells.
Animal science involves every aspect of producing
a wide range of animals and animal products. Farm animal production
has changed dramatically over the past years. The image of farming
as a red barn, chickens in the yard, pigs in the mud, and cows in
the field is no longer accurate. However, animal production is not
the sterile, mechanized, "food factory" that is sometimes publicized
either.
In the Animal Science PAC students will
learn how only 3% of the United States population can feed the
entire country as well as the many other aspects of animal science.
They will also identify the major components of an animal cell,
explain the process of cell division, and list and describe the
stages of mitosis and meiosis.
After studying about beef, horse, and poultry
production and management, students will explore the world of animal
genetics and animal processing.
