动物科学理学硕士-肉类科学和肌肉生物学

该部门强调体内和体外研究，这些研究在基本的机械水平上探讨关系，并解决当前动物农业中的实际问题。研究可能经常使用牲畜或实验动物，或两者兼而有之。为了满足不同兴趣的学生的需求，个性化课程的发展是灵活的。毕业生可以在学术教学和研究，专业兽医或医学学位课程，食品和饲料行业的工业研究，与政府和国际机构，私人公司的实验室研究课程以及需要很高职位的工业或机构管理职位中找到工作科学训练水平。该部门位于动物科学大楼内，该大楼设有教学和研究设施，包括计算和生物统计学实验室以及生物和生物材料制备成像和表征设施。附近有最先进的设
The department emphasizes in vivo and in vitro studies that probe relationships at a fundamental mechanistic level as well as addressing current practical issues in animal agriculture. Studies may often employ the use of livestock or laboratory animals, or both, as subjects. Development of an individual course of study is flexible in order to meet the needs of students with varied interests. Graduates find employment in academic teaching and research, in professional veterinary or medical degree programs, in industrial research in the food and feed industries, in laboratory research programs with governmental and international agencies, private corporations, and in industrial or institutional management positions requiring a high level of scientific training. The department is based in the Animal Sciences Building, which contains facilities for teaching and research, including a Computing and Biometry Laboratory and the Biological and Biomaterials Preparation Imaging and Characterization Facility. Nearby are the Livestock Laboratory, a state-of-the-art facility, and the Muscle Biology Laboratory. Teaching, research, and project assistantships are available to qualified students. Fellowships, scholarships, and traineeship awards are available from federal training programs, research grants, gifts and trusts, and special program funds.
