Problems in Animal Husbandry Teaching and Research

Pennsylvania State College

Abstract

Animal Husbandry workers in all institutions are constantly confronted with the problem of equipping and operating a high-class instructional and research plant on limited funds. This problem has become more acute during the past few years because of the period of economy that has been encountered in practically every institution, and because of the post-war agricultural depression which has resulted in a marked decrease in the number of students enrolled in agriculture. With this decrease in the number of students in agriculture the per capita cost of educating men in Animal Husbandry has materially increased.

Livestock and Buildings a Heavy Expense

Animal Husbandry Departments are faced with the fact that the teaching and research in their field is considerably more expensive than in any other line of agricultural work. This is due to the initial cost of equipment and its maintenance.

One of the outstanding items of equipment in animal husbandry work is the livestock used for instruction and research.
