The 2021 Spring Awards Ceremony was brought to you in an online version hosted by Professor Ed Depeters (Master Advisor for Animal Science). This annual event is an opportunity to celebrate the completion of another academic year and the successful completion of a program by seniors. Congratulations to all Animal Science students for their accomplishments this year! Best of luck to our seniors and we hope to see folks back on campus in the near future!
Two University of California, Davis, researchers have won prestigious national and international awards in recognition of their work using genomics to address livestock health and crop resilience in the wake of a changing climate.
Life turned remote during the COVID-19 pandemic. People worked, learned to cook, chatted with loved ones and completed countless other tasks via video.
Some cats even visited the virtual veterinarian as part of research out of University of California, Davis.
Mules are stoic working animals. They can be sick or in pain and by the time signs of illness are obvious, it could be too late for owners and veterinarians to intervene.
But new research out of University of California, Davis, could unlock that mystery by decoding whether body posture and facial expressions such as flaring nostrils and ear movement can be clues to something more.
Join us for our 29th Annual Production Sale on June 18th, 2022! The UC Davis Horse Barn is thrilled to be able to offer weanlings, yearlings, and a two-year-old for your consideration this year. There is sure to be something for every equine enthusiast at this event.
We are excited to be back in person for 2022, we hope to see you there! Join us for a sale preview beginning at 3:30 PM and a BBQ dinner at 4:30 PM and auction starting at 6:00 PM.
Imagine securing a cooler, two loaded duffle bags, a bed roll and a trash can onto two mules and leading them all by horse the length of a football field.
How long do you think it would take?
For world champions, it’s roughly 2-and-a-half minutes.
On Tuesday May 24th, the Department of Animal Science held their annual Spring Awards BBQ. This is the first BBQ we’ve been able to have in two years and it was great to see so many in attendance to celebrate the success of our undergraduate and graduates students that received awards over the last year. We also welcomed our generous donors and their families to this event that wouldn’t be possible without their fantastic support of our students. A great time was had by all!
