Programs that connect academics & the community
Extension programs initiated by faculty members within the Department of Animal Sciences work to span across disciplines, other departments and universities. Agronomy, forages, economics and environment play key roles in implementing all extension programs.
While extension specialists are trained in specific areas, such as animal breeding, behavior, nutrition, reproduction or meats, all focus on global issues of management, environment, production and economics for all livestock species.
Animal Sciences Extension is part of a larger group, the Alabama Cooperative Extension System (ACES).
