Agricultural and Livestock Science BSc
University of Nottingham
At Nottingham we take an applied approach. You’ll build your science, business and practical knowledge throughout the course. You will learn how to use the science of agriculture to sustainably tackle global challenges, such as how to feed a growing population.
You’ll study the production, nutrition, reproduction and management of commercial livestock within animal-based agricultural systems.
Practical sessions at the University Farm include animal handling sessions with different livestock species. Visits to local livestock farms help you to develop your understanding within a real-life context.
Modules in management teach you how to manage groups of animals from a business perspective. You can apply your learning by helping to manage the student sheep flock on campus.
Topics include:
- animal health and disease
- nutrition
- physiology
- livestock production
- agri-marketing
Sutton Bonington Campus is home to the University Farm and Dairy Centre. The farm is commercially run, with facilities for research and teaching.
There is a farm demonstration centre and farm staff contribute to the teaching on our degree programmes. The Centre for Dairy Science and Innovation has the latest technologies for researching dairy related topics, such as:
- feed efficiency
- antimicrobial resistance
- environmental emissions
