Animal Science Reviewer for the Agriculturist Licensure Examination

Animal Science on the Agriculturist Licensure Examination reaches from cellular physiology to the economics of a production house, and the items are more applied than candidates expect — many describe a herd, a ration or a carcass and ask what to do.

What Animal Science covers on the board exam

  • Anatomy and physiology of farm animals, including digestion, reproduction and lactation.
  • Ruminant, swine and poultry production systems and the management decisions each demands.
  • Animal breeding and genetics: selection, crossbreeding systems and genetic evaluation.
  • Slaughtering, meat inspection, carcass evaluation and the standards that govern them.
  • Current news affecting Philippine livestock and poultry.

Study note. Ration and carcass items are calculation-shaped but rarely arithmetic-heavy. Read for what is being asked before reaching for numbers.

Sample Large Ruminant, Poultry & Swine Production questions with answers and explanations

Board-style items taken from the Animal Science bank. Every answer is explained, which is the part that makes a review question worth doing twice.

  1. A manager must distinguish among related concepts. The observed case involves ruminant member of the bovine family, or sometimes the male used for draft purposes. Which term is supported by the defining evidence?

    • A. Ox correct
    • B. Bull
    • C. Cow
    • D. Ruminant

    Why: Ox is the term that fits the case described: ruminant member of the bovine family, or sometimes the male used for draft purposes. By contrast, Bull is a mature male breeding cattle; Cow is a mature female breeding cattle, one that has given birth.

  2. After separating relevant from irrelevant details, which concept best matches this case: a mature male breeding cattle?

    • A. Ox
    • B. Bull correct
    • C. Ruminant
    • D. Cow

    Why: Bull is the term that fits the case described: a mature male breeding cattle. By contrast, Ruminant is a cud chewing animals, having compound stomach namely rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum; Cow is a mature female breeding cattle, one that has given birth.

  3. A supervisor is comparing "Cow" with "Bull." Which statement correctly distinguishes the two concepts?

    • A. Both terms mean a mature female breeding cattle, one that has given birth.
    • B. Both terms mean a mature male breeding cattle.
    • C. Cow means a mature female breeding cattle, one that has given birth, whereas Bull means a mature male breeding cattle. correct
    • D. Cow means a mature male breeding cattle, whereas Bull means a mature female breeding cattle, one that has given birth.

    Why: Cow and Bull are not interchangeable: Cow is a mature female breeding cattle, one that has given birth, while Bull is a mature male breeding cattle. The other options reverse the two definitions or claim both terms mean the same thing, either of which would erase the distinction the record has to capture.

  4. An auditor is checking records labeled Ruminant, Cow, Calf, and Bull. Which record is internally consistent with its defining evidence?

    • A. Calf - a mature male breeding cattle
    • B. Cow - young cattle offspring of either sex less than one year of age
    • C. Bull - a cud chewing animals, having compound stomach namely rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum
    • D. Ruminant - a cud chewing animals, having compound stomach namely rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum correct

    Why: Only this pairing holds together - Ruminant: a cud chewing animals, having compound stomach namely rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The Calf, Cow, Bull records carry a definition belonging to one of the other terms, so the label and the description do not describe the same thing.
