The Division of Animal Sciences at the University of Missouri is one of six divisions in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR). It was created from a merger in 1989 from three of the college’s departments: Dairy Husbandry (1901), Animal Husbandry (1904), and Poultry Husbandry (1911). Our faculty members are noted for teaching and mentoring excellence. With globally recognized expertise, we teach in five discipline areas: reproductive and environmental physiology, ruminant and monogastric nutrition, genetics/genomics, meat science and livestock production, and across six species: swine, dairy cattle, beef cattle, poultry, companion animals and horses. A leader in animal science research, we are committed to providing our students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed and make a difference in the world.
