Research Facilities

Students in the program have access to twelve laboratories that expose them to the full array of laboratory techniques and equipment. These laboratories are equipped with bench top space, hoods, centrifuges, autoclaves, spectrophotometers, chromatography units, cell culture incubators, histology microtomes, microscopes PCR thermocyclers, and other major equipment pieces typically found in wet chemistry laboratories. Additionally, the students have access to the five animal farms and the Godley-Snell Animal Facility.

There is excellent cooperation with faculty members in other departments to allow access of student to technology not found in the program’s home department. The main library has and continues to maintain holdings relevant to the subject areas of the animal and related sciences (e.g., nutrition, physiology, microbiology, and genetics). The faculty use the mainframe computing system for data analysis and storage. Each faculty member has access to at least one computer in her/his office. There are additional computers maintained in laboratories and in commons rooms in the department.
