Overview
For graduate training, the department has animal research and teaching units located conveniently to the main campus. Those units include beef (grazing and feedlot), dairy, swine, sheep, poultry, and horse teaching and research units. In addition, both Call Hall and Weber Hall contain laboratories equipped to conduct most analytical techniques required for research.
Graduate training in the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry is organized within six functional discipline groups including animal breeding and genetics, meat science, monogastric nutrition, physiology, ruminant nutrition, and food science. The food science program represents a large interdisciplinary degree program and is detailed in a separate area in the catalog.
Programs of study must follow the policies of the Graduate School. All Ph.D. students must complete 3 hours of ASI 990 (Seminar in Animal Sciences Research). Students who have previously completed a research-based M.S. degree must complete at least 25 hours of ASI 999 (Doctoral Research in Animal Sciences and Industry), whereas students who have not completed a M.S. degree must complete at least 32 hours of ASI 999 (Doctoral Research in Animal Sciences and Industry).
