Animal Science, Fisheries and Wildlife Management was established in 1989 and it took off in 1990. The Department runs both five year post-secondary school and four year post-GCE‘A’ level undergraduate programme leading to the award of B. Agric. Tech. (Animal Science and Range Management).

The Department underwent initial accreditation in September 1995 as a result of which it was renamed Department of Animal Science and Range Management. The department graduated its first set of final year students (graduates) during the 1994/95 academic session.

The Senate of the university approved the M. Tech. /Ph.D. (Animal Production and Management) programmes of the department in 1998 and approval for take off was obtained in 2001. At present there are two Ph.D. students in the Department while those admitted into the M. Tech. programmes are expected to register in October 2002.

The Department places more emphasis on courses related to production and management techniques complemented with fieldwork and relevant laboratory practicals. The graduates trained in the department are thus expected to:

(i) Engage in production, research and extension services that would provide appropriate solutions to the livestock and rural development problems and generally improve upon livestock production in the country.

(ii) Profitably put their practical skills into operation by establishing and operating their own farming enterprises.

(iii) Take up employment anywhere in Nigeria in any aspect of livestock production and other related areas.

It is hoped that the above accomplishments may lead to the realization of the technological aspect of their training in a technological institution.
