The Department of Animal Science offers undergraduate and graduate programs on the biology and management of food, laboratory, and companion animal species. We maintain major research, teaching, and extension focus on dairy science and our graduates assume many different career roles from the farm level through agribusiness and other allied industries in New York State and beyond. Our research programs advance our understanding of animal biology and address local and global issues facing animal industries today. Our goals are to discover and develop new techniques and information to benefit animals, agriculture, and human health.
