About the Department
Animal agriculturists in the state of New Jersey face problems and challenges unique to the Garden State. Through its teaching, research, and extension activities, the Department of Animal Sciences is committed to keeping New Jersey animal agriculture and related industries highly competitive by providing the latest technologies and problem solutions.
The faculty constitute a cohesive, yet diverse body, implementing novel ideas in molecular biology in animal science research while at the same time maintaining their understanding of practical on-farm problems such as controlling parasites and pests, feeding and nutrition, and optimizing growth and well-being in animals. Faculty research is supported by a number of laboratory and animal facilities.
