The faculty has a proud history of research in veterinary and animal science. In the first half of the 20th century we established the pillars that still stand today as the cornerstones of our research effort – animal health, animal husbandry, nutrition, anatomy and genetics.
The faculty has a proud history of research in veterinary and animal science. In the first half of the 20th century we established the cornerstones of our research effort – animal health, animal husbandry, nutrition, anatomy and genetics. Today, we lead international, multidisciplinary programs in farm animal health, biosecurity, poultry and dairy science, animal genomics, advanced reproduction, animal welfare science, ecosystems health, tissue repair, veterinary education, companion animal disease and clinical service, to name a few areas of expertise.<br />
<br />
Presently, approximately 70 per cent of our research income is directed towards the health and performance of production animals. Wildlife research has become an area of intense interest and activity with a fantastic diversity of species now being studied. We also have a strong core of biomedical research and this has been reflected in the way that our research student graduates have been valued by leading medical research institutes, both in Australia and overseas. Our campuses at Camperdown, placed adjacent to the Centre for Obesity Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease (CODCD) development, and Camden, within the emerging bioscience precinct, provide the infrastructure required to study a diverse range of species in a laboratory, farm and clinical context.<br />
<br />
The Centenary year of the Faculty in 2010 was suitably marked by a number of occasions, including a Research Showcase, which was a successful display of the diversity and depth of our research capabilities. It seems fitting that the major developments in research on our doorstep should be happening at a time when we look to the future for the next century of research.
