Animal Scientists create medicines, vaccines, new feedstuffs, and a wide range of services for veterinarians, livestock producers, and others who care for farm and companion animals. Most animal scientists specialize in a specific animal, such as beef cattle, horses, goats, etc. Here’s how to get started!
- Pick your favorite animal.
- Create a ‘Five Facts Every [Name of Animal] Owner Needs to Know’ card to help community members better care for this animal. Your Five Facts card can include information about the relevant animal industry in your state, numbers to quantify how to care for the animal (ex: amount of food needed, frequency of vaccination schedule, etc.), and other information that is essential for people to know about taking care of this animal. You can create your card by hand, or Canva.com has some great free templates.
- Share your ‘Five Facts’ card with your local vet office and/or county Extension agency. Ask them to display it in their office!
- Optional: Share your ‘Five Fast Facts’ card in the Student Showcase to build your resume!
