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!

  1. Pick your favorite animal.
  2. Create a ‘Five Fast Facts’ card to help community members better care for this animal. (canva.com has some great free templates)
  3. Share your ‘Five Fast Facts’ card with your local vet office and/or county Extension agency. Ask them to display it in their office!
  4. Optional: Share your ‘Five Fast Facts’ card in the Student Showcase to build your resume!
