Dairy Science Department
Dairy Science Bldg. (18-2), Room 100
(805) 756-2560
The purpose of this minor is to help students from other disciplines gain a basic understanding of the terminology and practices used within the field of dairy science. Students may choose to emphasize dairy husbandry or dairy products technology, but the curriculum is flexible enough to accommodate students' individual goals. After completion, dairy husbandry students will have a basic understanding of cattle, dairy nutrition, milk production practices and commercial dairy herd management. Dairy products technology students will have an understanding of dairy food processing and marketing, quality and regulatory control and processing plant management. Specific programs will be designed to reflect the individual student's interest and needs.
The Dairy Science Minor will require two introductory courses. Students must obtain prior program approval from the Dairy Science Minor Coordinator in selecting an additional five courses according to their interests and goals. A minimum of 26 hours is required for the minor, at least half of which must be at the 300 and 400 level.
