Bachelor modules
B.Agr.0349 Animal nutrition (module responsibility)Offered: Each summer semester
Recommended precognitions: Contents of the module "Farm animal sciences I"
Note: A laboratory internship is part of the module and a prerequisite for the exam. The laboratory internship usually takes place in February or March of each year after prior notice. Contents: The module addresses the nutrition of all relevant farm animal species, including fish and horses. Contents include the background and consequences of feeding strategies, handling nutrient and energy supply recommendations, and analysis of key ingredients.

Offered: Each winter semester
Recommended precognitions: Contents of the module "Farm animal sciences I"
The module provides an in-depth overview of the quality and areas of application of all important feed groups. Exercises deal with the classification of quality and the recognition of important feedstuffs (e.g. sensory analysis of silage/hay; classification of important concentrates). There are also units on topics such as feed legislation, feed market and sustainability.

Contents: The module teaches sustainability aspects of the production of plant and animal foods, from processes in the soil to animal nutrition and animal husbandry. With regard to farm animals, contents include the role of livestock farming in global food security, possibilities for reducing environmentally relevant emissions, physiological adaptations to the changing climate, and species-appropriate husbandry.

Mastermodule
M.Pferd.0004 Nutritional physiology and feeding of the horse (module responsibility)
Offer: Every summer semester
Recommended from the 1st master's semester
Contents: The module provides in-depth knowledge of important areas of equine feeding (e.g. feed evaluation, animal requirements, feeding and health, feed science), based on the physiological principles of the animal. External lecturers are also involved in the module alongside Göttingen lecturers. It is a compulsory module for students of equine sciences and an elective module for students of agricultural sciences.

Offer: Every summer semester
Recommended from the 1st master's semester
Contents: The module teaches the quality-determining characteristics of feed ingredients and compound feed as well as influences on these properties from crop cultivation practices to storage. The feed market, the assurance of quality through quality management in compound feed production, and official monitoring are taught.

Offer: Every 2nd winter semester (WiSe25/26)
Recommended from the 1st master's semester
Contents: The module offers an in-depth insight into ruminant nutrition, with some focus on dairy cows. On the basis of digestive physiology (such as rumen fermentation or feed passage rate), aspects of requirement-based feeding are dealt with, with a focus on aspects of environmental and animal welfare. An integral part of the module is lectures by all students on current topics based on publications.

Recommended from the 1st master semester
Contents: The module is designed for the start of the master studies. When compared to the bachelor modules, this module provides more in-depth knowledge on nutrition of farm animals and highlights the importance of physiological processes related to nutrition, consequences on environmental impacts, and characteristics of animal products.
