Course description
This class provides the series of lectures for understanding various issues related to animal breeding technology and animal rearing technology on a global scale. Topics are the structure, function, behavior and evolution of animals based on molecular biology and genetic knowledge. Lectures also include measures to control international infectious diseases and animal diseases related to public health concerning chemical substances and pathogenic microorganisms related to animal diseases.
Students will deepen their knowledge of issues and solutions to problems around the world through issues such as lectures and group discussions.
Expected Learning
This lecture trains basic knowledge and applied skills essential for understanding scientific logics on agriculture and related issues. Foundation as high-level human resources as a problem-solving scientists and engineers with international applicability.
