ANSC 331Physiology of Animal Reproduction

3 credits · Animal Science · Penn State

ANSC 331 is a study of reproductive anatomy, endocrinology, physiology, behaviors, and management in animals. Students will gain an understanding of the development, organization, and functions of the reproductive system with a focus on domestic animals. This will include understanding endocrine regulation of reproductive processes and how hormones affect cellular function. Comparisons to primates, rodents, wild species, and non-mammalian species will also be made. Students will develop an understanding of factors that affect reproductive success and how this knowledge can be used to regulate/manage reproductive processes of domestic animals, wildlife, and humans.
