Description: A livestock specialist focuses on the digestive requirements of ruminant and non-ruminant animals as he explains the basic nutritional needs of common livestock. As you analyze major nutrients—water, protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals—investigate specific hays, grasses and grains delivering those vital elements. Learn how to put together a balanced ration, correctly use supplements and decipher the nutritional contents listed on a feedtag.

Digestive Systems of Livestock: A Basic Look

Description: Explore the digestive systems of monogastric animals (e.g., horses, pigs and chickens) and ruminants (e.g., cattle, sheep, goats). Watch as a professor of animal science uses models, computer-generated graphics, laproscopic images taken within the system of a live animal and digestive tracks removed from slaughtered animals to teach about prehension, mastication, simple digestion and rumination. Viewers explore the entire digestive system of a pig, chicken and steer to identify organs and to understand the tissue structures and functions. The instructor dissects organs to expose contents and secretions aiding digestion.

The Livestock Industry

Goal: To gain a better understanding of the history and practices of the livestock industry as well as how it has evolved over the years.

Description: This presentation includes the history of the livestock industry and the origins of various livestock species. Advancements in the livestock industry are also discussed, along with a detailed explanation of animal husbandry practices of today. Various pricing and marketing strategies are introduced, emphasizing the importance of consumer appeal and satisfaction. From animal byproducts to pricing grids and career opportunities.

Objectives:

1. To analyze the growth and development of the livestock industry as a global commodity.

2. To examine the stages of animal growth and relate it to market readiness.

3. To evaluate marketing practices for livestock, meat and meat products.

4. To explore career development and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Goal: To understand the global influence of the factors impacting the demand in livestock products.

Description: This lesson describes factors responsible for increasing the demand of livestock products globally as well as those related to global commodity markets. The resources used for livestock production are identified along with the economic impacts of trade.

Objectives:

1. To identify the factors responsible for increasing the demand of livestock products.

2. To recognize the resources used for livestock production.

3. To understand the various components of trade and the economic components of trade relationships.

4. To determine the components related to the growth of global livestock commodity markets.

Genetics:

Goal: To gain an understanding of the structures and processes related to genetics and how they impact the livestock industry. Description: This presentation explores the fundamental principles of heredity and variation. Terms such as cell, chromosomes, DNA and RNA are defined and described to aid in the understanding of the genetic process. Detailed graphics and illustration of topics, such as the process of meiosis and mitosis, will increase comprehension of the more advanced genetic concepts. The history of inheritance is also discussed, as well as the use of technology to improve genetic outcomes and to benefit the livestock industry.

Objectives: 1. To understand the structure of DNA and RNA. 2. To identify and comprehend the processes related to cell division. 3. To explore the importance of animal genetics and the role it plays in the livestock industry.

Summary:
The study of genetics is important for understanding why the world looks the way it does.  Heredity is an important concept in medicine and in agriculture.  Understanding genetics allows students to understand how genes make us what we are.  In this lesson, students will learn about the principles of Mendelian Genetics, Molecular Genetics, Heredity, and techniques of genetics.
