Overview
Department of Animal Sciences was established in the early 1980’s to train students capable of properly managing livestock and poultry farms, and join science with practice in animal science. The mission of this department is to expand and transfer knowledge for continuous improvement of the animal husbandry to support human population with sufficient quantity and quality of safe food such as egg, milk, meat and other animal products.
 
The bachelor degree in Animal Science with either livestock or poultry majors prepares undergraduate students for professions in livestock or poultry production and breeding. At the graduate level, the department offers professional courses to support master majors in animal and poultry nutrition, genetics and breeding, physiology and management of livestock and poultry farms. At the doctoral level, admitted students can major in ruminant nutrition, poultry nutrition, reproductive, growth and digestive physiology, as well as animal breeding. Some 17 faculty and staff members supports a body of about 150 students at different graduate levels.

Research Fields

  • Animal Breeding and Genetics
  • Ruminant Nutrition
  • Poultry Nutrition
