The mill equipment and building buil-ding are being moved and reconstructed re-constructed at the 643 acre BYU farm near Spanish Fork to assist in mixing the experimental experi-mental rations for livestock feeding experiments conducted by the Animal Science faculty. Students will be employed and trained not only in the scientific formulation of rations but in their actual mixing and preparation prep-aration as well as cost analysis. The University farm supports herds and flocks of dairy and beef cattle as well as hogs and sheep. Additionally, cropland and orchards are used in the academic programs. The Animal Science Department, Depart-ment, with 200 majors, conducts con-ducts demonstrations and research re-search with the livestock at the farm, while the Agronomy and Horticulture Department conducts con-ducts similar work for their 78 majors in the crops and horticultural horti-cultural areas of the farm. The Agricultural Economics Department, Depart-ment, with 58 majors, is involved in-volved in enterprise cost analysis anal-ysis and management of the farm projects. |
