Biographical / Historical
When the College of Agriculture was created in 1957, the Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences was originally divided into the Departments of Animal Husbandry, Dairy Industry, Poultry Husbandry and Veterinary Science but by 1966 only the Departments of Animal Science, Dairy Science, Veterinary Science remained. Around 1978, the three departments combined into the Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences.
From 1957 to 2025, the Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences, and all previous iterations, operated out of the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences. The department now operates out of the S.J. and Jessie E. Quinney College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
