Animal Physiology

Course overview

You¡¯ll undertake a comprehensive examination of mammalian physiology, with an emphasis on regulation of reproduction, lactation, fluid homeostasis and growth. This will give you insights into the processes underlying pain, stress and welfare of animals with great attention placed on current research and its implications for humans, production animals, feral animals and wildlife.
