Animal Science

Owners of livestock, including dairy, beef, sheep, meat goats, hogs, pastured poultry, horses, and other livestock face special issues. Cornell Cooperative Extension provides useful information regarding animal housing, nutrition, care, and livestock business management. Through scheduled farm tours, workshops, newsletters, and site visits, we emphasize responsible animal management and welfare.
