The animal-human interaction plays an important role in this study programme. Themes like animal nutrition, animal health, animal welfare, levels of management, genetic diversity and socio-economic factors are all widely discussed.The specialisations within Animal Sciences:A. Genetics and BiodiversityThis specialisation focuses on the genetic improvement of various animal species in relation to their environment, by integrating quantitative, biological and molecular approaches.B. Nutrition and MetabolismThis specialisation aims to understand the relation between nutritional demands, diet formulation, digestion and metabolism in animals, and their responses in terms of growth, production and waste.C. Global and Sustainable ProductionThis specialisation combines knowledge from different disciplines (such as animal sciences, economics and social sciences) to study the development of sustainable animal systems across the world.D. Adaptation, Health and WelfareThis specialisation studies the effects of the direct environment on physiological responses of individual animals and groups of animals, and what these responses mean for animal health and welfare.E. Molecule, Cell and Organ FunctioningThis is a fundamental specialisation looking into mechanisms and processes at all levels of physiology: from molecules to organs to whole animals.F. Animal EcologyThis specialisation focuses on the interaction between animal populations and their wider environment; the ecosystem (natural or affected by human intervention).
