Administrative history
The Department of Animal Husbandry was established as part of the Faculty of Agriculture in 1917 and continued until superseded by the Department of Animal Science in the early 1950s. The department's function was "to afford education and training in all matters about livestock to all those living in the province and seeking and applying for such education."
