Farm Animal Behaviour - Diploma (level 2)
As this course covers such a large subject there are more modules than normal, module 1 and any five further modules are required for a certificate to be issued. It is designed to be helpful to the farming community as well as those who may be considering taking up a smallholding or even keeping domesticated animals for their own enjoyment.
Course Modules
1. The Domestic Farm Animal. This module introduces the course with the history of farm animals, describing the origins and purpose of the creatures we farm today.
2. Cattle. Whether raised for meat or milk, herds of cattle are a familiar sight around Britain and their behaviour is quite fascinating.
3. Sheep. Sheep have changed in appearance dramatically over the centuries but their behaviour seems relatively unchanged.
4. Pigs. Like sheep the farmed pig shows little resemblance to its ancestors and as boar is now back on the list of farmed animals they make an interesting comparison.
5. Horses. As with many of the other species on this course horses have been a familiar sight on farms for centuries, as a means of power, transport and even food.
6. Farmed Birds. This module covers the familiar chickens, turkeys ducks and geese but also looks at, pheasants, partridges, Guinea fowl and more.
7. Fish. The rise in aquaculture over recent years has inspired this module when it could have been a course in itself. It covers many species from trout to barramundi and some of the many shellfish species that are now farmed.
8. Recent animals. Ostrich, deer, llama and more relatively unusual animals that have recently arrived on British farms are covered here.
