and lower jaws]
Brisket- Is the lower curve outline of the chest or rib cage
Flews- Is the upper lip of the dog
 Comparison of the Four Breeds in Terms of
Herding

I ranked border collies as the best herding dog as they are they are common staple in many farms and ranches
and are are known as the smartest dog breed as they are extremely intelligent. They are also extremely quick
learners and need to work. I ranked Australian Shepherds as the second best herding dog as they are a mid sized
dog breed and are fast learners with plenty of energy and intelligence in nature with keen herding instincts for
moving livestock. I ranked Scotch Collies as they third best herding breed as they as herding is not exactly their
strong suite with their slightly larger size, but with their agility and gentle demeanor are still effective herding
dogs. German Shepards are a much larger breed in comparison to the other breeds and as such are not as great
at herding livestock but are still quite great at keeping livestock off of crops or roads and can be set as a great
“boundary”.

Reproduction
By: Ethan Williams
What is the Reproductive Process?
The female genital tract for dogs are the pretty much the same as they are for all
mammals’ reproductive anatomy. This includes the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus,
oviducts, and ovaries. Once the semen from the male penis is put into the female,
they become fertilized and pregnant. The gestation period normally ranges from
57-65 days, and with an average of 63 days.
Ovaries- site of oogenesis ovum production
Oviduct- fallopian tubes, connecting infundibulum
to uterus
Infundibulum- picks up eggs at ovulation and
directs them to oviduct
Uterus- implantation and fertilized egg, fetal
development until birth.
Cervix- muscular opening between uterus and
vagina, barrier for fetus and external
Vagina- organ that receives penis, fetus passes
through
Vulva- opening externally on outside
Testicles- Produce sperm and male sex hormones
Epididymis- Stores sperm until they are mature
Vas deferens- A passageway for sperm to travel
from epididymis to urethra
Scrotum- holds and protects testes
Seminal Vesicles- produces a fluid that protects
and transports system
Prostate Gland- produces a fluid that is mixed with
seminal fluid
Cowper’s Gland- produces a fluid that moves down
the urethra ahead of the seminal fluid
Sheath- protects penis from injury
Penis- puts semen in females

Select a diet plan for the chosen animal based on the
functions of the ration.
Write out how your species of animal should be fed. What kind of ration is
needed? How often should they be fed? How much should they be fed? What is
the function of the ration selected (maintenance, growth, production, etc)? What
nutrients are required for the animal?

Dogs should be feed a carnivorous diet and to just maintaining their size and as
such should be feed a production ration. They should be fed about twice a day
and should be fed 2-4 cups of food depending on their weight. Adult dogs need up
to 50% carbohydrates by weight, including 2.5–4.5% from fiber. A minimum of
approximately 5.5% of the diet should come from fats and 10% from protein.

Ending Questions
What is one surprising or unexpected item learned in the course?

I was surprised by the complexity and depth of animal science, from the specific terms to the processes and animal behaviors.

What are some potential careers in the animal science industry?

Zoology and Wildlife biology and wildlife photographer

How are these careers connected to the information gained in this class? These are careers that are more focused towards wildlife animals than livestock, but the basis of
things like flight zones and animal behavior are important to learn for both safety and efficiency purposes.

How has the information in the course changed the view of different types of animals?

It has made me more aware of the way interact with animals and made me think about way I can more efficiently and safely in the field when I’m shooting animals.

What are the next possible steps for using the information from this course?

Going to UNCW to study biology with a focus on animal physiology and animal studies
