Baton Rouge, La. – Four Paws Pet
Cremation Service has donated a distal horse limb to the Department of
Agricultural Sciences in Southern University’s College of Agricultural, Family
and Consumer Sciences.
Lorenzo Bennet, an alum of the College
and owner/CEO of the cremation service, presented the limb to Renita Marshall,
DVM, Chair of the Department of Agricultural Sciences.
Marshall said the limb will be used
for student instruction.
“We have a veterinary sciences
course that we will use to show the students a real life picture into how the
bones and the limbs of animals work,” said Dr. Marshall. “Whether or not the
students go into animal science or veterinary medicine they will need to know
how the bones work to be able to assist with any type of surgery or anything that
has to do with the medical condition of a horse’s limb.”
The department offers Bachelor of
Science degrees in Agricultural Sciences with concentrations in Agri-business,
Agricultural Economics, Animal Science, Plant and Soil Sciences, or
Pre-Veterinary Medicine.
