Texas A&M Animal Science

Texas A&M Animal Science Visit us at http://animalscience.tamu.edu In 1965, the department became more encompassing and was renamed the Department of Animal Science.

The Board of Directors of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas initiated the development of the Animal Husbandry Department in 1903. Today, the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University has achieved national and international prominence as the largest and most complex department of animal science in the nation. As part of its land grant mission, the Animal Science Department

strives to meet the needs of all citizens by providing outstanding teaching, research and extension programs. Currently, disciplines within the department include reproductive physiology, animal breeding and genetics, food science, microbiology, equine science, dairy science, animal nutrition and meat science. The department responds to the Texas animal industry through research and education programs in equine, beef, dairy, swine, sheep and goats.

What can cattle teach us about early pregnancy loss?

Texas A&M Animal Science researchers are studying how changes carried by s***m may influence embryo development, fertility and pregnancy.

Using cattle as a research model, their work could help improve reproductive outcomes in livestock while advancing our understanding of human fertility.

Donor Spotlight | Jay ’80 and Cathy Clements

For Jay ’80 and Cathy Clements, supporting Texas A&M students has taken many forms over the years. Their latest gift, a state-of-the-art smoker, will give Animal Science students another tool for hands-on learning in meat science courses and barbecue education.

Through years of involvement with the Department of Animal Science, the Clements family has continued to give back with one goal in mind: creating meaningful opportunities for students.
