The Department of Animal Science originally concerned itself with teaching the selection, breeding, feeding and care of livestock. Today it continues this study of the symbiotic relationship between animals and humans, with practical focuses on agribusiness, science, and animal management.
History
The Department of Animal Husbandry was established in 1898. The name of the department was changed to the Department of Animal Science in 1962. The Department of Poultry Science was merged into the department in 1971.

Abstract
Source and Description of Primers. Primers for the very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACADVL) gene were designed from a bovine cDNA sequence (GenBank accession No. U30817) aligned with the human ACADVL gene (GenBank accession No. L46590). The forward primer was 5¢-TTT GGG GAG AAA ATT CAC AAC-3¢ and the reverse primer was 5¢-GCG GCC TCT ATC TGG AAG T-3¢. The amplification product was expected to span from exon 11 to exon 12 of the ACADVL gene. Exonic parts (103 bp) of the pig sequence were 91% identical at the nucleotide level with the human ACADVL sequence. The pig sequence produced here has been submitted to GenBank (accession no. AF022255).
