Institute of Animal Breeding and Husbandry
The Institute provides its functions in teaching and research in the fields of animal genetics and animal husbandry and small livestock farming. The courses are in the framework of lectures, seminars and exercises. For the courses of study agricultural science, agricultural economics and nutritional science are basic lectures on animal husbandry, animal husbandry and hygiene offered, while in the main study in the field of animal production are the core subjects animal husbandry, animal breeding and animal genetics, molecular genetics, including a special focus.
