Detailed study of the anatomy and physiology of the horse as they relate to the nutrition, reproduction, athletic ability, unsoundness and control of diseases and parasites as they relate to athletic performance, growth, reproduction, musculoskeletal soundness and health.

Discussion of the importance of livestock production to society and consideration of major issues impacting animal agriculture. Principles and practices learned in disciplinary and commodity Animal Sciences courses are integrated into a unified perspective, and the scientific method is employed as an approach to problem analysis and resolution. Refinement of skills in critical thinking, information gathering, writing, and oral communication is emphasized.

The material covered in NS/CNU/AS 602 consists of two major emphasis areas: (1) properties, biological functions, and metabolism of vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds (micronutrients), and (2) influence of functional interactions with these and other nutrients on health and disease. The objective of this course is to provide students with a strong knowledge base related to micronutrient metabolism in the context of select conditions and energy balance.
