Animal Biology covers the basic biology of large mammals and birds, including physiology and function, reproduction, nutrition, immunology, genetics and biotechnology as applied to animals. Many courses include a hands-on component, with teaching activities on the Macdonald Campus Farm and in the Small and Large Animal Research units. The programme can be taken as a specialization alongside a Life Sciences major or as a minor by other students, and prepares graduates to apply to veterinary colleges in North America, pursue postgraduate biology programmes, or work in laboratory settings. It is offered within the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences as part of the Bachelor of Science (Agricultural and Environmental Sciences). Courses include Animal Health and Disease, Mammalian Physiology, Animal Biotechnology and Immunology. Related majors and specializations include Life Sciences (Biological & Agricultural), Environmental Biology and Wildlife Biology. Graduates pursue careers as veterinarians, animal biotechnologists, zoo educators and researchers, or continue into conservation-related work.
