    Description
    This course involves the planning, development, and completion of an individual or group animal project under the guidance of a faculty advisor on the Los Angeles Pierce College Farm. Usually the project will involve the husbandry and health care of livestock animals or poultry, associated production costs, and even- tual profit analysis at time of sale. The student will be assigned to one animal unit on the Pierce Farm. Animal Units on the Pierce Farm include: the Poultry Unit, Sheep Unit, Goat Unit, and the Cattle Unit. The student in this advanced course will examine advanced health techniques such as sample laboratory testing. The student will also analyze the crop production associated with their animal unit. For example, students will analyze the farming techniques associated with the pro- duction of feed on the Pierce College pastures for the cattle.
