ANIMAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

ANSCI 336
Course Description

Covers growth and development of an animal from a single cell to an organism and factors such as nutrition, hormone, genetics and gut microbials influencing growth and development in both cell and tissue levels. Includes the molecular and cellular basis of prenatal and postnatal growth and development. Focuses on development and growth of tissues including muscle, adipose, connective, mammary, and bone tissues that are associated with animal production. Also includes the use of growth promotants in livestock to improve growth performance and increase the quality of carcasses and animal production.
