Horse Production and Management
 
 


Horse Production and Management is a non-credit course offered by the department of animal science at the University of Manitoba. It can also be taken as a credit towards the diploma in agriculture.

This series of lectures deals with the principles of horse production and management, including anatomy and physiology, genetics, selection and breeding, reproductive management, nutrition, stable and pasture management, health and welfare, and equine behaviour. Guest speakers and a farm tour are included.
