Welcome to the Department of Animal Sciences Extension!

While extension specialists are trained in specific areas, such as animal breeding, behavior, nutrition, reproduction or meats, all focus on global issues of management, environment, production and economics for all livestock species.

Extension programs initiated from faculty members within the Department of Animal Sciences work to span across disciplines, other departments and universities. Agronomy, forages, economics, and environment play key roles in implementing all extension programs.

Animal Sciences Extension is a part of a larger group, the Alabama Cooperative Extension System (ACES), one of the nation's largest, most scientific, and best-researched providers of information and education.
