What is traditionally two clubs elsewhere is consolidated into one club at USU. The club is directed towards those interested in working with animals associated with agriculture practices. The emphasis on theriogenology will focus on advancing our knowledge and experience base on reproduction in animals. Due to the more readily available resources at hand, this will probably focus mostly on reproduction in ag animals, but we hope to expand it and include other animals too for those interested.

This club was designed to provide preventive health care for veterinary students that have animals (cats and dogs) since we lack a teaching hospital. Each semester, we throw a student-run clinic to examine and treat our pets. Besides getting low cost preventive care for your animals, you get amazing hands on experience with doing physical exams, drawing blood, administering vaccinations, and writing a medical record. (You get to be the vet!) Additionally, this semester, the club will also host some informative lectures and labs on preventive health topics.
