The records of the North Carolina State University Department of Animal Science contain correspondence, newsletters, memoranda, personnel records, brochures and other publications, reports, and grant applications concerning animal husbandry, 4-H, swine evaluation stations, research stations, the North Carolina Cattlemen's Association, 4-H horse shows, horse husbandry and judging, the Dairy Herd Improvement Association, the Institute of Nutrition, and sheep. Also included are records of Extension Swine Husbandry. Materials range in date from 1920 to 2003.
Beginning with research and programs in animal husbandry during the early years of the university, the Department of Animal Industry was established during the 1920s. In 1962, it became the Department of Animal Science. Throughout its history, the department has overseen work done through the research stations, the experiment stations, and 4-H.

Historical Note
Beginning with research and programs in animal husbandry during the early years of the university, the Department of Animal Industry was established during the 1920s. In 1962 it became the Department of Animal Science. Throughout its history, the department has overseen work done through the research stations, the experiment stations, and 4-H.
As of 2006, the Department of Animal Science offered programs of graduate study leading to the Master of Science, Master of Animal Science (non-thesis) and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Animal Science offered training in a diversity of basic sciences and the integration of such knowledge into the framework of a living system. Students could major not only in Animal Science, but also in any one of the following disciplines: biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, nutrition, and physiology. Animal Science majors could specialize in one or more of these basic disciplines or in the more applied areas of management and production. The primary research emphasis in Animal Science was to develop projects that would result in development of new technology in the disciplines of physiology, nutrition, genetics, biotechnology, production, and management.
Also as of 2006, there were four sections within Animal Science that were part of the Cooperative Extension Service: Animal Husbandry, Dairy Extension, Swine Husbandry and Horse Husbandry.
Additional information and resources on the history of the Department of Animal Science can be found through the
NCSU Historical State website.
Scope and Content Note
