Brief Introduction to College of Animal Science and Technology

College of Animal Science and Technology (CAST) developed from Department of Animal Husbandry. In April 1950，Animal husbandry and grassland subjects of National Northwest Agricultural Academy School were merged with National Veterinary College and adopted the name of Department of Animal Husbandry. Upon the approval by Gansu Agricultural University, Department of Animal Husbandry was renamed to Department of Animal Production Engineering (September 1993), and Department of Animal Science and Technology (July 1999). In March 2001, when the university adjusted its faculties, College of Animal Science and Technology was founded.

CAST is longer in history of the higher agricultural universities in China, and also enjoys good reputation and well influenced in international and domestic animal husbandry fields with inheriting the older generation’s excellent tradition of DILIGENCE, PRECISENESS, HONESTY and INNOVATION. After 60 years of construction and development, CAST has become an important base for a senior professional personnel training and scientific research in animal husbandry in China.

There are five teaching departments in the College, namely Department of Animal Nutrition and Feed Science, Department of Animal Genetics, Breeding and Reproduction, Department of Animal Production and Management, Department of Aquaculture, and Experiment and Teaching Center of Animal Science Technology, and four teaching and researching institutes including Gansu Research Center for Swine Production Engineering Technology, Gansu Key Laboratory of Herbivorous Animal Biotechnology, Gansu Engineering Lab of Genetic Improvement in Ruminants, International Science and Technology Cooperation Base for Genetic Improvement of Mutton Sheep Beef Cattle in Northwest China  and Animal Husbandry Systematic Engineering Research Institute of Gansu Agricultural University. By authorization of State Ministry of Personnel, Animal Husbandry Post-doctoral station was founded in 2001. There was the 1st level discipline of PhD program in Animal Husbandry, upon the approval by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council, PRC in 2003. CAST offers four the 2nd level doctor’s programs in agronomy disciplines, namely, Animal Genetics, Breeding and Reproduction Science, Animal Nutrition and Feed Science, Rearing of Special-type Economic Animals, and Animal Production. CAST has the right to grant master's degree of Agricultural Extension (breeding areas). Animal Genetics, Breeding and Reproduction Science is the key subject of Ministry of Agricultural. In addition, Animal Husbandry (1st level) is the key subject of Gansu Province and Animal Science is the specialties subject of Gansu Province. CAST offers three undergraduate specialties including Animal Science, Animal Science (animal husbandry and veterinary direction) and Aquiculture, and also offers undergraduate specialties of Animal Science for self-taught students. In addition, CAST is the training and evaluating base for Gansu Feed Industry Professional Skills.

CAST actively carries out academic exchanges at home and abroad, improves the educational level and quality of personnel training continuously. It also has established long-standing academic exchanges and cooperation activities with many foreign universities and institutes of many countries such as United States, France, Germany, Rumania, Australia, Italy, Hungary, Canada, New Zealand, Turkey, Thailand, South Africa, Kenya, Ukraine and so on. It has also tied extensive relationship with many well-known domestic universities, research institutions and enterprises. At present, CAST has established more than ten teaching and research bases and practical bases for students of employment outside the compus.

In order to adapt itself to the need of some key technological research projects of social and economic development including national and provincial level, CAST has carried out extensive science research programs in the past 60 years. Based on rigorous scholarship and realistic attitude and hard-working spirit, the majority of teachers have obtained remarkable achievements in teaching and researching.
