Open Gate

Saturday, March 4, 2023

10 AM - 2 PM

The UF/IFAS Department of Animal Sciences opened our gates to middle and high school students interested in pursuing a future in the animal sciences industry. On Saturday, March 4, 2023, many middle and high school students had the opportunity to visit the UF/IFAS Beef Teaching Unit, the UF/IFAS Horse Teaching Unit, and the UF/IFAS Meat Processing Center. Attendees got a glimpse of our department and what a future career in the animal sciences industry could entail. 

Open Gate has reached capacity!
