Title: Animal Science


1
Animal Science
  • What is Animal Science?

2
What is Animal Science?
  • Care, management and production of domestic
    animals
  • Animals used for food, clothing, weapons tools
  • Todays animal science includes biotechnology,
    genetics behavior research

3
Domestication

  • Dog for tracking, then herding
  • After animals become domesticated, they become
    dependent on man

  • They are bred for size which makes them incapable
    of flight.
  • Turkeys
  • Also, some species have their wings clipped at
    birth
  • Ducks
  • Geese
