Additional information
Unit content:The main approach to learning in this unit is to use practical classes including the lamb feed lot and self-directed learning to build on the learning objectives from the lectures. All practicals are closely linked to the theory from the lectures and are directly relevant to the livestock industries. The students will have an active hands-on role in the feedlot to enhance their learning of animal handling, health, welfare, nutrition, genetics and production. Strong emphasis is placed on developing teamwork and applying critical thinking to production systems that will be further enhanced in ANS337. A number of guest speakers from industry will also assist in putting what is learnt in the lectures and practical classes into context and to highlight the challenges that they face.
