Welcome to the website of the Undergraduate Program in Animal Science.

Livestock development has a significant contribution in fulfilling the adequacy of food of animal origin and is also related to the quality of human resources of a nation. The USU Faculty of Agriculture Undergraduate Program in Animal Science has a strategic role in creating outstanding human resources to play a role in scientific development in animal husbandry, both nationally and globally. The academic community of the USU Faculty of Agriculture's Undergraduate Program in Animal Science carries a mission in line with the three pillars of higher education, including education, research, and community service. The support of infrastructure, lecturers, and teaching staff has brought the condition of the USU Undergraduate Program in Animal Science to be nationally accredited with "Excellent" by BAN-PT. Network development is further strengthened through partnerships with leading private institutions engaged in animal husbandry, such as Charoen Pokphand Indonesia, Japfa Comfeed, Malindo, and PT New Hope, which are also alumni user institutions, as well as government / state-owned enterprises, such as BRIN and PTPN, and leading universities in Indonesia.

I am very proud to be part of the USU Faculty of Agriculture Undergraduate Program in Animal Science family. During my time as a student, I gained a lot of knowledge from lecturers and seniors during lectures and practicums. This knowledge was helpful when I started to pursue a career in the workplace. On the other hand, my mentality was well formed during lectures as a student so that I could compete in the workplace until now. I would like to thank the lecturers who have taught and educated me, seniors, classmates, and even my juniors.
