Course activities provide core concepts primarily in the area of animal health. Prereq: 2200.01 or 2300, and 2200.02 or AnmlTec 2200.02T. Prereq or concur: 3170 or 3270 or AnmlTec 3170T. Not open to students with credit for 3200.

Animal Physiology Laboratory

Laboratory experience exploring organs, tissues, and cells associated with the physiological systems of domestic animals. Course activities put into practice core concepts in the areas of anatomy, histology, and physiology. Prereq: 2200.01 or 2300H, and 2200.02 or AnmlTec 2200.02T. Prereq or concur: 3140 or AnmlTec 3140T or EEOB 2520. Not open to students with credit for 3200.

Processed Meats

Exploring fundamental changes in soft animal tissues resulting from comminution and application of non-meat ingredients and a variety of cooking methodologies to enhance palatability and value. Prereq or concur: 3110, AnimSci 3110, or FdScTe 2400. Not open to students with credit for AnimSci 555.02.

Bar-B-Que Science

Investigating methods to prepare various meat products. Students will gain experience in matching proper cooking methods with different muscles to produce wholesome and palatable products. Students will be introduced to product sensory techniques.

Molecular Biology Techniques

Demonstrates the applications of molecular biology by involving the students in a real time research project. Students will perform experiments using molecular biology techniques in the context of a muscle protein functionality study. Prereq: Grad standing, or permission of instructor.
