Dairy Science

Animal Sciences

Dairy science applies biological and chemical principles to the production and management of dairy animals and to the production and handling of dairy products. Its instruction spans animal science, nutrition science, food science and technology, and biochemistry, together with the human and animal health and safety questions that dairying raises. The field treats milk production and dairy processing as one continuous chain, running from the management of the living animal through to the manufacture of milk based foods.

Facts
Central Question
How do the biological, nutritional, food-science and business principles taught as dairy science translate into the actual long-term production and processing of milk, from the hand-milked small farm to the large-scale rotary parlor and automatic milking system? 1
