Science is the study or theoretical explanation of natural phenomena.
During this time of study we are investigating the laws of nature, her principles and reasons

Early people ate fruits, nuts and other seeds. They were migratory hunters
The idea of domestication came about and people began to settle down
![Page 7: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
People began to pay close attention to details
and from these details drew conclusions on where to locate and harvest their food.

Progressive scientific research in the U.S. began in the mid 1800’s at universities.
The universities were only teaching the “classics” such as Latin and Greek, History, Math and Philosophy
![Page 9: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Soon they realized that they should include more practical hands on subject areas in their curriculum.

1862 Senator Morrill from Vermont
pushed for a bill through the U.S. Congress that would provide public land and funds for colleges that would teach practical methods of manufacturing and food production
![Page 11: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The bill was signed by President Lincoln and the Land Grant or Morrill Act was passed into law.

Scientific Methodsystematic method of gaining knowledge through experimentation
assures that results did not occur just by chance and that something actually did cause the change.
![Page 20: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Scientific Method
Recognize a ProblemDevelop a HypothesisDo an experimentCollect the DataAnalyze DataDraw a conclusion
![Page 21: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Identify the problem to be
solvedan idea of the cause may already be present
![Page 23: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
form a hypothesisan educated guess this is a guess of what causes or might be causing the problem
![Page 24: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
conduct the experiment
experiment should test the hypothesis
![Page 25: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Two groups to every experimentcontrol - is constant in everything except the thing being tested
![Page 26: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
experiment - contains everything that the control group does, but also contains the variable being tested
![Page 27: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Two types of research
basic - looks at why or how processes occur in animals
applied - uses the discoveries made in basic research to help in a practical manner.

Where Search Has Led Us
Agriculture, beside medicine, is the application of almost all the research and knowledge associated with plants and animals
![Page 29: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
basic research has benefited us the most by allowing us to produce high quality protein food very efficiently
![Page 30: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
ResearchHere is a list of achievements accomplished since 1925better control of parasites and diseases and an end product that is higher is protein
![Page 31: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
productivity and efficiency
–of all species has increasedbroilers are ready for market in 7.5 weeks after only 2lbs of feed and it used to take 4lbs of feed and 15 weeks
![Page 32: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Research The countries in North and Central America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand have only 29.9%of the worlds cattle yet produce nearly 68% of the worlds beef and veal
![Page 33: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
these are also the countries
in which nearly all of the scientific knowledge about the growing of these animals has been discovered
![Page 34: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Milestones That Revolutionized Agriculture
1. Animal immunization–late 1800’s disease began to devastate all types of animals
–Louis Pasteur developed first method of vaccinating animals to develop immunity (1870-80’s)
![Page 35: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
serum developed
to fight anthrax from the blood of sheep that had survived a bout with the disease
![Page 36: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
serum tested in two groups
group 1 - infected with the serum and later infected with anthrax
![Page 37: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
group 2: infected with just anthraxgroup 1 lived and
group 2 died
![Page 38: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Vaccines for other diseases
Using Pasteurs guidelines other scientists developed vaccines for other diseases
![Page 39: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
animals raised in a disease free environment can be raised more efficiently and at a much lower cost
![Page 40: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
2. Refrigeration–there was a huge need for meat preservation
–meat would spoil quicklyin the winter meat would freeze solid until the spring
![Page 41: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
meat preservative methods
saltdryingkeeping meat in a cool steam
![Page 42: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Problems–Problems with this was that meat was less palatable and these methods were very time consuming
![Page 43: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
today we have freezers and refrigerators which utilize chemicals and compressors to condition the air and keep it cool
![Page 44: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
first attempt of meat cooling was done with huge blocks of ice being hung from the ceilings of dark rooms
![Page 45: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Refrigerated box cars
were developed a few years later
![Page 46: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Artificial insemination
–advancements in animals produced are achieved through the transfer of superior genes from parent to the offspring
![Page 47: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
A.I. Was developed in the 1930’s and allowed for greater and more controllable transfer of genes from superior sires
![Page 48: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
A.I. Is widely available
this is most prevalent in dairy animals
![Page 49: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
4. Embryo transferallows for genes of superior dams to be more widely used

combining ET and AI
allows producers to make rapid gains in the quality of their herds in short amounts of time at relatively low cost
![Page 51: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
5. Use of computers
–first computer was developed in the 1940’s and became an integral part of agriculture in the 1980’s
–as research moves more swiftly computers allow us to analyze information in seconds instead of weeks
![Page 52: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Animals Effect on Everyday Life
lives of humans have been greatly enhanced through pharmaceuticals developed from animal by-products
many routinely prescribed drugs are derived from animals
![Page 54: Animal Science as Agriculture](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56816348550346895dd3d7eb/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
cortisone: was originally made from the gall bladder of cows and
