What is animal science?

Animal science focuses on the health, productivity and care of managed animals.

Innovation in animal science aims to address some of the biggest challenges facing our world today, such as feeding a growing human population.

What is the difference between animal science, zoology and veterinary science?

While zoology looks at wild animals in their natural habitats, animal science focuses on the study of managed animals in settings such as farms and zoos.

Veterinary science focuses on supporting animals through illness and injury. In contrast, animal science looks into their health and care by finding more effective ways to breed, raise and look after animals.
