The Animal Science Department traces its origins to the Animal Husbandry Division of the Agriculture College which was established in 1895.
In 1985, the Dairy Science and Animal Science departments merged and formed the Department of Animal Sciences. It was decided that the merger would create a "consolidated and coordinated instructional program" that would be beneficial to the students. A new building would be built to house the new department and the merger would also increase efficiency in building planning.
This unit covers:
