Specialized laboratories are provided for meat, wool, and animal production. The department maintains 330 acres of range land and 100 acres of irrigated pasture. Livestock includes a purebred breeding herd of Aberdeen-Angus and Polled Herefords, and commercial feeder cattle; the Kellogg Arabian horses; flocks of purebred Rambouillet and Suffolk sheep, a herd of commercial breeds of swine.
A Master of Science degree in Agriculture with a subplan in animal science is offered. Specializations available within the degree are animal nutrition, animal breeding, meat science, and animal physiology.
Location of the university provides rich opportunities for students to obtain specialized and practical educational experience in production, management, feeding, marketing and processing. Cooperation of prominent local breeders, feeders, producers, marketing organizations and related animal industries offers additional opportunity for field study. Facilities for student-owned and operated livestock projects are made available by the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation. For the student interested in meat science and processing, specialized courses are available. A student may develop a program emphasizing meat science by consulting with the appropriate departmental advisor.
