The department has three broad areas viz. Animal Breeding, Animal Nutrition and Livestock Production & Management. The post-graduate programmes in Animal Breeding, Animal Nutrition, Dairy Husbandry and Poultry Husbandry were started in 1963-64 and Ph.D. programmes in Animal Breeding and Animal Nutrition in 1966-67. Recently, Ph.D. programmes in Dairy Husbandry and Poultry Husbandry were also started in 1999-2000. Several new P.G. courses have been developed by the department. The thrust areas are as follows: Cross-breeding in dairy cattle Use of population genetics for improvement of dairy cattle and poultry
Conservation of Sahiwal cattle Conservation of germplasm of poultry and guinea fowl Development of inbred lines in poultry Improvement of agro-industrial by-products Integrated farming systems Manipulation of rumen-environment Assessment of nutritional status of cattle/buffaloes Development and evaluation of new forage varieties and evaluation of poultry feeds and rationsAgro-eco-zonal specific problems in productivity will be tackled at the farmers' level.
