As you will see as you explore our website, our program is vibrant, diverse, and comprehensive with our research and teaching programs covering from the molecule to the ecosystem as it pertains to animals.

We have a rich heritage and an exciting future as we address issues related to animal agriculture in the context of a contemporary environment. Our efforts also span domestic and captive species including companion animals and conservation of wild species harvested for food.

Recently, UC Davis scored first in programs for plant and animal sciences in U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Global Universities” report, which based its rankings on overall research and academic reputation.
