Bachelor modules
B.Agr.0021 Farm animal sciences I: Animal nutrition, hygiene, and quality of animal products (module responsibility)
Offered: Each winter semester
Contents: The module teaches the principles and fundamental aspects of animal nutrition, animal hygiene and product quality. Basics in animal nutrition include the importance of feed ingredients, digestive processes and feed evaluation as well as feeding livestock. Basics in animal and food hygiene include relevant diseases, use of medicines, disease control and food hygiene. There is also an introduction to the quality assessment of animal products.

Offered: Each summer semester
Recommended precognitions: Contents of the module "Farm animal sciences I"
Note: A laboratory internship is part of the module and a prerequisite for the exam. The laboratory internship usually takes place in February or March of each year after prior notice.
Contents: The module addresses the nutrition of all relevant farm animal species, including fish and horses. Contents include the background and consequences of feeding strategies, handling nutrient and energy supply recommendations, and analysis of key ingredients.

Offered: Each winter semester
Contents: The module teaches sustainability aspects of the production of plant and animal foods, from processes in the soil to animal nutrition and animal husbandry. With regard to farm animals, contents include the role of livestock farming in global food security, possibilities for reducing environmentally relevant emissions, physiological adaptations to the changing climate, and species-appropriate husbandry.

Master modules
Specialised nutrition of non-ruminants (module responsibility)
Offered: Each winter semester
Recommended precognitions: Contents of the module “Nutrition physiology”
Contents: The module deals in depth with the intersections of animal nutrition between performance level, animal health, resource conservation, global food security, and environmental impacts. The focus is on non-ruminant farm animals such as pigs, poultry, and fish; dogs and cats are also discussed comparatively.

Offered: Each winter semester
Recommended from the 1st master semester
Contents: The module is designed for the start of the master studies. When compared to the bachelor modules, this module provides more in-depth knowledge on nutrition of farm animals and highlights the importance of physiological processes related to nutrition, consequences on environmental impacts, and characteristics of animal products.
