Welcome

The Department of Animal Sciences, with strong roots in the Land Grant tradition, has as its mission “to improve the health and well-being of animals, including humans, through integration of teaching, research, and outreach.” Our department aspires to be a global leader in training the next generation of scholars in the areas of comparative endocrinology and integrative physiology, equine science, and companion and laboratory animal science.

Check out our newsletter, Animal Science Update 2012-2013, for stories about our faculty, students, department and upcoming events.

Ag Field Day 2013

Ag Field Day is Saturday, April 27, 2013.  Please join us by the Round House!  Our undergraduate clubs will provide fun and food for the whole family with animal shows, a petting zoo, BBQ, and other activities. Our graduate students will be selling baked goods as well as dog treats. The Equine Science Center will present equine treadmill demonstrations. See our News & Events webpage for a list of animal-related activities scheduled for the College Farm area.

Farm tours available!

The Department of Animal Sciences has developed a Farm Tour Program aimed at guiding small groups of children and/or adults around the cattle, goat, horse, pig, and sheep facilities on Sheepfold Lane.
