在这里学什么？
Undergraduates in dairy science prepare for a variety of career opportunities that require a strong background in applied animal biology. Careers include: agribusiness, dairy farm management, technical service and consulting, research, and teaching. Students also enroll in the department to prepare for veterinary school, medical school, or graduate school. Coursework in the major includes animal genetics, lactation, reproduction, nutrition and management. The department may be consulted for additional details and for specific career information.
The dairy science major can be earned under the Bachelor of Science degree program. The dairy science major may be combined with other majors such as agricultural and applied economics, biological systems engineering, genetics, life sciences communication, and agronomy. Multiple out-of-classroom learning opportunities are included in the curriculum and internships on farms or with agribusiness are required to provide the practical training needed for success in any 21st-century careers. Many students gain valuable experience through part-time employment in research labs or in the student-operated dairy cattle instruction and research center.
Discoveries from the research laboratories reach the classroom long before they appear in textbooks. Students benefit from integration of the instructional and research programs of the department. The co-curricular Badger Dairy Club involves students in dairy industry events that provide leadership and networking opportunities in a vibrant industry.
Learning Outcomes
To gain knowledge of current and emerging researchxad based information in animal biology and management sciences to support dairy production. The first learning outcome relates to the biological structure and function of the (ruminant) dairy cow and its particular aspects compared with other food-xadproducing animals. Students are expected to become proficient in the fundamental and applied aspects of reproduction, genetic selection, milk secretion, and nutrition, as well as management practices that enhance the health and welfare of dairy cattle. In addition, students are expected to gain an understanding of the farm-xadlevel economic, environmental and social challenges facing dairy producers. Finally, students are expected to appreciate the place that dairy production and animal agriculture hold in state, regional, national and global food production and its contribution to nutritional needs and health of a growing population. To gain intellectual, practical and attitudinal skills needed to identify and solve problems and challenges facing dairy producers and allied industries. The second learning outcome relates to students’ gain in intellectual and practical skills as well as personal attitude. We expect our students to practice and refine their soft skills. Soft skills are personal attributes that enable someone to interact effectively with other people including but not limited to strong work ethic, positive attitude, good communication skills, time management abilities, problem-xadsolving skills, acting as a team player, self confidence, ability to accept and learn from criticism, flexibility/adaptability, and working well under pressure. To gain in life-xadlong learning skills to enable graduates to adapt to changing technological, economic and social circumstances throughout their professional career. The third learning outcome relates to enabling students’ leadership skills, continued growth and success in their professional career in a way that contribute also to the success of the dairy industry in Wisconsin, the nation and globally. 所属院系
