This course is specialized for students in the training semester at the Agricultural Research Station. Students will be divided into groups according to the physiological and production stages of the different farm animals raised in the station. They will be asked to follow and participate in all practices and record all the production, health, and management information during this time. By the end of the semester, students have to submit a reprot including all the production and management data with any accompanied justifictaions and recommendations.
