The Extension arm of the Animal Science Department endeavors to:
Convert research findings into management practices improving the livelihood of Tennessee farms and families.
Work with producers to implement management practices into their unique production systems.
Discover production systems that thrive in our state and the southeast.
The primary method for accomplishing these goals is by supporting the educational efforts of county UT/TSU Extension agents. UT/TSU Extension maintains an Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) agent in all 95 counties in the state. Animal Science specialists provide in-service training on topics that relate to beef cattle, dairy cattle, equine, poultry, small ruminant and swine management. The county agents deliver that information to clientele through educational programs in several different formats.
