A Guide To Pursing Your Career Path
AGRICULTURE LEADERSHIP IN ANIMAL PRODUCTION (N)
Leaders in animal production conduct research to develop better ways to produce and process meat, poultry, eggs, and milk. Much of the research focuses on the health and breeding of livestock, but domestic animals, such as cats and dogs, are also a research concern. Animal scientists are experts in genetics, nutrition, reproduction, and animal production management. Developing new characteristics to introduce into animals (such as chickens that lay more eggs) and reducing the cost of raising animals and processing animal products are other goals of workers in this pathway.

This pathway is a great combination for students who are interested in animal science & agriculture mechanics. A strong understanding of agriculture mechanics is necessary with all farm work, including food and animal farms. Workers in Agricultural Mechanics are responsible for the efficient operation of farm machinery. Opportunities in the farm equipment industry will grow as farms merge and grow larger. Agricultural and farm equipment mechanics are responsible for the maintenance, repair, and installation of machines that increase the efficiency of farming activities, such as planting, harvesting, and irrigating crops. Agricultural mechanics also service and repair smaller lawn and garden equipment operated by suburban homeowners.

Veterinarians treat health problems of pets, livestock, and animals in zoos, racetracks, and laboratories. They are concerned with preventing, controlling, and curing animal diseases as well as researching human and animal health to develop new ways to prevent and cure diseases. Some veterinarians are meat inspectors, and others work in wildlife management.
