Animal Breeding and Genetics

The genetic variation of animals is the basis of our activities at Animal Genetics. We work with farm animals, companion animals and a wide range of other animals. Through our research, education and collaboration with industry and other stakeholders, we promote the wise use of genetic resources.

Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

We conduct research within animal health, food safety and environmental health, and are responsible for about one third of the veterinary education.

Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

We perform research, teach and inform about the structure and function of animals in health, as well as stress, disease and production from molecular mechanisms to whole animals.
