Join SPC on the inaugural Animal Nutrition Study Abroad program to Ireland and Scotland. On this program you will not only gain an understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the digestion of food animal species and livestock, you will also get to see how the nutritional needs are assessed by actually visiting laboratories, research facilities and farms. You will see farms where both the feed and the livestock are produced. You will learn how rations are formulated and mixed, and see how the feed is processed that will become part of these rations. You will see how livestock is handled and managed and learn about how nutrition affects the health and production levels of the different species of livestock. You will also benefit by comparing how nutritional management varies between farm systems, species and countries.

Apply early – space is limited! Application, all forms, payments, visa (if necessary), etc. must be processed and completed by the deadline of March 8, 2018.
