UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA


 DAIRY SCIENCE

 The curricula in Dairy Husbandry and Dairy Manufactures are designed to give
technical and practical training in the various phases of dairying including the produc-
tion of milk and the manufacture of dairy products.

 (a) Major in Dairy Husbandry

 The curriculum in dairy husbandry provides a broad foundation for dairy farming.
Training is given in the selection, breeding and feeding of dairy animals and in man-
agement of the dairy herd. The curriculum is intended to prepare students to become
dairy operators or to provide a foundation for further study in dairying or other closely
related fields. A new, modern dairy unit and 1200 acres of land provide excellent
facilities for teaching in this field.
 Students planning to major in Dairy Husbandry are required to take BLY. 161-162
as corequisites with C-6 while freshmen, and ACY. 208 and DY. 211 while sophomores.

tional work, and as inspectors in municipal, state and government service. A modern
dairy industry building provides good laboratory facilities for teaching in this field.
