教學目標(1)使學生兼具家禽產業發展趨勢之認知。(2)具有專業表達與學術發表的能力。(3)具有研究創新畜牧生產相關技術的能力。學生通過此課程後所培養的能力包括(1)具有更深一層的家禽營養學理之基礎。(2)具有執行與改善動物飼養管理之能力。家畜禽生產為台灣重要的農業的產值。本課程係加強學生對氣候變遷對家畜禽生理與營養知識之影響，包括家畜禽呼吸血液生理與營養例如: 蛋白質、能量、礦物質之代謝，並瞭解氣候變遷對家畜禽生理、營養與生長之關係。另外，台灣地處亞熱帶，氣候高溫潮濕對家畜禽生長有不利的影響，透過課程在高環境溫度下家畜禽的營養需要量之改變內容加以說明，而氣候變遷影響穀物生產，所以尋找替代飼料原料使學生明瞭在飼料之調配上要符合家禽營養需求、對耐熱品種畜禽的選育亦是很重要的課題之一。由於地球氣候暖化，造成氣候異常現象，極端氣候出現頻率增加，季節性氣溫變化加劇；國內畜牧生產採集約式飼養，對內面臨高飼養密度及生產系統之樣態，使得疾病繁多、病原累積與複雜化，導致生產效率下降，對外遭遇歐美等國倡議將經濟動物之動物福利(animal welfare) 列為家禽生產重要的方針，於是透過家禽生物安全與動物福利之介紹，使學生具有應用科技新知與分析產業動態的能力，明瞭再候變遷下畜舍規劃與設計，並能以所學之改善傳統畜舍並應用於家畜禽飼養管理上。同時課程要求學生專題報告，訓練學生具有專業表達與學術發表的能力。

Teaching objectives (1) To enable students to have an understanding of the development trends of the poultry industry. (2) Have the ability to express yourself professionally and publish academically. (3) Have the ability to research and innovate technologies related to livestock production. The abilities developed by students after passing this course include (1) having a deeper foundation in poultry nutrition theory. (2) Have the ability to implement and improve animal feeding and management. Livestock and poultry production is an important agricultural output value in Taiwan. This course is designed to enhance students' knowledge of the impact of climate change on the physiology and nutrition of livestock and poultry, including the respiratory, blood, physiology and nutrition of livestock and poultry, such as the metabolism of protein, energy, and minerals, and to understand the relationship between climate change on the physiology, nutrition, and growth of livestock and poultry. In addition, Taiwan is located in the subtropics, and the high temperature and humidity of the climate have an adverse impact on the growth of livestock and poultry. The course explains the changes in the nutritional requirements of livestock and poultry under high ambient temperatures. Climate change affects grain production, so the search for alternative feed ingredients enables students to understand that the formulation of feed must meet the nutritional needs of poultry. The selection of heat-resistant livestock and poultry breeds is also one of the important topics. Due to global warming, climate anomalies have been caused, the frequency of extreme weather has increased, and seasonal temperature changes have intensified. Domestic livestock production has been raised in a centralized manner. Internally, it has faced high stocking density and the shape of the production system, which has led to a variety of diseases, accumulation and complexity of pathogens, resulting in a decline in production efficiency. Externally, it has encountered the initiative of European and American countries to promote the animal welfare of economic animals (animal welfare). Listed as an important policy for poultry production, through the introduction of poultry biosecurity and animal welfare, students will have the ability to apply new scientific and technological knowledge and analyze industry trends, understand the planning and design of livestock houses in the face of future changes, and be able to use what they have learned to improve traditional livestock buildings and apply them to livestock and poultry breeding management. At the same time, the course requires students to make special reports and train students to have the ability to express themselves professionally and publish academically.
