Introduction

About the Department of Animal Resources Science.

"Design the Future with Animals.Change the World."

Department of Animal Sciences — Where Your Tomorrow Begins

Welcome to the Department of Animal Sciences.

We cultivate creative professionals who will lead a sustainable livestock and bio-industry through broad,

in-depth education and research that span the full continuum—from animal production to processing of livestock products.

Our curriculum offers rigorous study in animal nutrition, breeding and genetics, animal biotechnology, and meat and dairy processing. Reflecting current societal trends, we also explore companion animals, specialty livestock, and cultured meat.

Beyond the classroom, students build practical skills through advanced laboratory facilities, field-based learning, and diverse co-curricular programs. With individualized advising and specialized talent-development initiatives, we help each student discover and realize their potential. Our graduates advance to careers across research institutes, public agencies, and industry.

Animal sciences is more than the study of animals; it is a future-oriented discipline that addresses food security, human health, and environmental challenges while designing a harmonious coexistence between people and animals. Here, your curiosity and passion grow into ideas and competencies that change the world.

Let us be the starting point of the tomorrow you imagine.

Thank you.

Excellence and Distinction

In 2013, the Department of Animal Sciences was recognized as an “Excellent Department” at Jeonbuk National University (JBNU) for its overall achievements. In the same year, the department’s Global Leaders for White Food of Animal Resources (GLARS) team was selected for the post-BK21 program—one of only three animal-science programs nationwide. In 2012, the department received JBNU’s “Excellent Employment Award.” Together, these honors reflect our commitment to providing students with outstanding education, hands-on training, research opportunities, and strong career outcomes.
