Animal Science Extension Education: The Challenge and the Opportunity1

Lee Kolmer

Iowa State University, Ames

Abstract

Animal Science Extension Education is a substantial part of our total agricultural education program. The very fact that Animal Science subject matter is so important imposes serious responsibility upon the discipline. The impact of animal scientists upon the welfare of students, farmers, processors and farm suppliers is great. The leadership Animal Science provides through research, teaching and extension programs will have great influence upon the nature of our agricultural economy in the years ahead. This is a major concern of program administrators as they view Animal Science programs as part of the total extension education program in the college of agriculture.

Program administrators have responsibility for coordinating the output of numerous departments so as to achieve a broad-based program rather than a series of divergent and independent program units in extension education. Consequently, they very keenly feel the need for disciplines in the college of agriculture to meet present day challenges with programs which will provide imaginative leadership for all sectors of agriculture.

As animal scientists grapple with the problem of providing imaginative leadership, they are challenged to begin developing programs today in anticipation of future animal industry needs.
