Animals
In the Animals pathway, you would strive to find better ways to produce and process meat, eggs, and dairy products. You might study the genetics, nutrition, or development of animals. On the other hand, you might purchase livestock from farmers and ranchers or assist them with marketing or selling their animals. To assure that the products are safe to eat, you could inspect and grade meat. To assist farmers and ranchers, you could advise them on how to feed or house their animals to increase production.
