Animal Science
The Department of Animal Science originally concerned itself with teaching the selection, breeding, feeding and care of livestock. Today it continues this study of the symbiotic relationship between animals and humans, with practical focuses on agribusiness, science, and animal management.
History
The Department of Animal Husbandry was established in 1898. The name of the department was changed to the Department of Animal Science in 1962. The Department of Poultry Science was merged into the department in 1971.

Abstract
Phosvitin (PV) was treated with high-temperature, mild pressure (HTMP), and enzyme combination, and then phosvitin phosphopeptides-calcium (PPP-Ca) complexes were prepared. The low-calcium specific pathogen free-Kunming (SPF-KM) mice were used to determine the effect of PPP-Ca complexes on intestinal calcium absorption and their utilization for bone formation. The serum calcium content was the highest with the HTMP-Enz-PPP-Ca treatment (2.19 mmol/L), and it significantly down-regulated the abnormal elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase (AKP) caused by calcium deficiency. The low-calcium control group had the lowest calcium deposited to the femur (80.41 mg/g) and the lowest femur bone mineral density (BMD) (0.17 g/cm3), while HTMP-Enz-PPP-Ca significantly improved bone calcium content (94.33 mg/g) and BMD (0.29 g/cm3). The micro-computed tomography (MCT) images showed that the femur with the normal control, PV-Ca, and HTMP-Enz-PPP-Ca treatments had a more compact, complete, and thicker trabecular network than the low-calcium and CaCl2 treatments. These results indicated that the organic calcium (HTMP-Enz-PPP-Ca) promoted calcium absorption and bone deposition, and the effect of HTMP-Enz-PPP-Ca was better than the inorganic CaCl2.
