The Department of Animal, Aquaculture, and Range Sciences offers postgraduate programs that typically provide students with an opportunity to conduct in-depth research in their chosen field of study. Postgraduate programs provide students with advanced knowledge and skills, as well as practical research experience, which helps to prepare them for careers in academia, research, industry, or government agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Postgraduate programs in this department may focus on a variety of topics, including animal nutrition, productivity, genetics, reproduction, behavior, welfare, aquaculture production systems, fish nutrition, and health, aquatic ecology, range ecology, pasture, forage management, and non-conventional animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a Master’s program, students typically take advanced coursework in animal science, aquaculture, or range management, and conduct a research project under the supervision of faculty advisors. The research project may involve laboratory work, fieldwork, or data analysis, depending on the student’s area of interest or specialization. <\/span>A PhD program, on the other hand, requires more extensive research and typically takes longer to complete. PhD students conduct original research in their chosen field and produce a dissertation that makes a significant contribution to the field. They may also take advanced coursework and may have the opportunity to teach undergraduate courses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Department of Animal, Aquaculture and Range Sciences has been offering MSc. training in Tropical Animal Production<\/a> since 1990, and MSc in Aquaculture<\/a>. <\/span>Plans are underway to establish MSc. in Range Management.
