Bachelor of Animal Science (Animal Nutrition and Growth)

The New Zealand meat industry is well recognised around the world for its pasture-raised product. In New Zealand we also have world-leading industries raising poultry and pigs. Nutrition is also extremely important for sport and companion animals. Improving nutrition can optimise the performance of animals in all these industries. You will learn how animals digest food and what feeds are best for them. You’ll also learn how much they should be eating for the appropriate growth and development, performance and health. Massey University’s Bachelor of Animal Science (BAnSci) is the only degree in New Zealand that focuses entirely on animal science. It is ideal if you are interested in a career that combines your love of science and animals.
