Veterinary Science, Population GeneticsThe University Of Sydney - Sydney, Australia

This study uses two population genetics and two veterinary approaches that influence the success of captive Arabian oryx management. Appropriate and lots of data were collected to address the aims. The data well organized and taken steps to provide useful insights for conservation of Arabian oryx. Results will no doubt be useful for improving the management of captive oryx.

Master of Veterinary Studies : Veterinary Surveillance

Disease is a significant factor limiting the productivity of livestock and affecting human and animal health in both developed and developing nations. New, emerging and re-emerging diseases of animals can have a considerable effect on a country's economy, as well as impacting directly on the lives of the community, farmers and their families. In this course I obtained the skills essential to minimize disease incursions, monitor the presence of diseases and design and evaluate control measures to restrict disease impact.
