Hello, I'm a fresh graduate of animal science bachelor's degree, is there any specific skills or skills outside of animal science scope should we learn to boosts our career? Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone, I need some advice. I’m on my third year of studying animal science, but I don’t know what I want to do with my degree. I wanted to go to vet school for a long time, but I’m not sure anymore. I enjoy lab work and hands on work, but I don’t know if I could make a living off of it. My mom really wants me to do vet school, and I feel like she’ll be disappointed if I don’t, however I don’t think my heart is in it anymore. Has anyone else dealt with this? I’m just unsure what to do at this point.
Here's the situation, I am a fresh graduate from a state university here in the Philippines and the jobs here related to our field has way too low of a pay. I am a licensed agriculturist and graduated with Latin honors, can anyone help give some pointers to land a job that has a competitive salary? Preferably abroad like New Zealand, Canada, or anywhere tbh. Agriculture is so underappreciated here it's sad.
Fast forward to 1:20 for vibes This has completely fascinated me lately. These vibrations are totally off the charts, penguins absolutely have to vibrate faster than any other living organism. I can show more videos of this guy younger but the vibrations are so fast and hard to see without a big screen tv.
So , the short tailed shrew is known to be venomous, but my question is, and I have tried looking for papers or documents on it, but what happens if say one bites another short tail or bites itself by mistake, are they actually resistant to their own species venom?

The Purpose of this questionnaire is to evaluate the impact that pets and therapy animals have on a neurodivergent persons emotional, sensory, and mental wellbeing.

After I'll finish getting my Ansci Degree, how many years would it take to get that Vet Med Degree? :)))
Hello! I am currently pursuing my bachelors in animal science. My plan is to continue on to graduate school and focus on companion animal nutrition. The semester just ended for me and I got a 2.0 in organic chemistry 2.
I have the option to retake it but if I chose not to I will have a very light semester when taking biochem, so i can focus more time into it. Will grad schools really care about this 2.0 if I do well in everything else? or would you guys recommend I retake it. my friend is a biochem major and thinks I'll do fine in the class itself but I was just curious if it would impact my admission for grad schools.
My overall gpa is decent at a 3.6, I earned a 4.0 in orgo 1 and in my animal nutrition class, so I have done well in the other relevant courses I feel.
Hi guys! I am doing my dissertation research into human biases in conservation, specifically looking at reptiles. It would be much appreciated if you could do my survey! Thank you :) https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/angliaruskin/reptiles
Hey guys I have a question , I recently graduated with a degree in laboratory animal science last May and want to pursue a masters degree in public health (with an emphasis in veterinary public health ) I have no plans of pursuing veterinary college as of this moment so what I wanted to ask is that what career opportunities would it take me to with getting this masters ? Is the degree in itself worth it , I’m also currently working as a lab animal technician as well trying to get my (ALAT) certification as well and also gaining some skills. But again for those out there who are vets or not would this particular masters take me anywhere ? All opinions and statements are welcome !
I am an Animal Science major. I used to be in nursing school but have always loved animals so I made the switch. I am really interested in reproduction in livestock (ai, embryo transfer etc.). I am looking for any knowledge on careers available, how to get into them pay, all the things. Thank you.
Hey guys, I am looking for some guidance on the best colleges/universities to study animal behaviour or nutrition. I am looking for universities in Europe, UK, Ireland, and Australia.
Hello everyone. I am currently at a community college and transferring to get my bachelors in animal science next semester. I previously was in nursing school but decided to I wanted to work with animals because I have always loved and been passionate about them. I go back and forth with if I made the right decision or not. I am very interested in the classes unlike before in nursing school where it was hard for me to pay attention at times. However, I have heard that it is difficult to find good paying/enjoyable jobs. i do not want to be a vet tech. I have a hard time with animals being euthanized/dying so wouldn’t want to be around it constantly. I have thought about artificial insemination, and nutritionist. Ive researched that ai techs are mostly self employed however I am not sure how to start or if there is a need. I also have not been around livestock and I live around Lubbock Tx area as well. If anyone has any advice/knowledge please let me know.
Hi,
I was wondering if there's still communities or maybe tribes that lives with animals, not as their pets or anything, but more like an equal relationship ? Like the Mongolian reindeer people for example... Thanks for your help!
An animal was killed in our backyard in Cedar Rapids. Trying to identify it. I’d think fox, but the tail isn’t as bushy as I’ve seen in pictures. Any ideas?
what is your degree? what was your first job in science? what are you doing now?
Hey, I graduated in may at Ohio state university with the degree of animal science in bachelor. I've been struggling to find a job and the only ones that been accepting me is animal tech. Currently not interested into doing masters, I cant swim myself in more debt. I'm starting to feel hopeless about this degree and not sure what to do, any jobs that you know of or insights would be wonderful.
