Learn to manage animal breeding across a range of domestic animals. Animal breeding can be undertaken on any level, from a part time hobby or part-time business (e.g. breeding and selling pets), through to a very serious and highly sophisticated profession (such as the breeding of racehorses). A science based course, animal breeding online, goes into genetics, artificial and natural selection, cross breeding and artificial insemination (there is also a specific course on artificial insemination available). This course provides a great introductory point whatever level you eventually plan to work with.

Study animal nutrition and learn the composition of a range of feeds including pasture, fodder crops, grasses, cereals, seed, and other edible plants. This course also explains the role of proteins, vitamins and minerals in animal diets. It equips you with the skills required to evaluate feeding and select appropriate feeds – for digestibility and nutritional content – applicable to real life farming situations.
