Introductory Course in Animal Sciences

Department of Animal Sciences, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana

ABSTRACT

ANSC 102. Introduction to Animal Agriculture. Sem. 1 and 2. Class 2, Lab. 2, cr. 3. (el. 1 or 2 A.)

Thus reads the course listing in the School of Agriculture Bulletin. It has been there for six years; however, the initial thinking about such a course started shortly after World War II. Professor Claude Harper, then Head, Department of Animal Husbandry, noted in conversations with those students who were veterans that they were concerned about the emphasis on selection in beginning courses. They hoped for a broader, more fundamental approach to the introductory course. Professor Harper began to think in terms of our total animal product and its contribution to the food needs of our people, as it was related to the increasing population growth and to the greater potential for increased incomes.

The first National Institute of Animal Agriculture was held at Purdue University in April of 1951.
