In graduate education (master's and doctorate), our Department is located under the Institute of Natural and Applied Sciences as the Department of Animal Science. Department of Animal Science consists of three sub units as Animal Breeding, Feeds and Animal Nutrition, and Biometrics and Genetics. Under the roof of the Institute of Natural and Applied Sciences, teaching and, research and development programs are given at the graduate level that can meet the requirements of the era. Under the motivation of these programs, our department is given MSc and PhD diplomas to students who have the knowledge needed by the livestock sector in our country and region. Graduate activities are carried out by 16 faculty members (11 professors, 3 associate professors and 2 Doctoral Lecturers) working in the department.

Faculty of Agriculture was established on 27.06.1987 under Dokuz Eylül University, and on 11.07.1992 it was affiliated to Aydın Adnan Menderes University. Undergraduate Education and Training started in the 1993-1994 academic year. The Department of Animal Science took undergraduate students for the first time in the 1993-1994 academic year and gave its first graduates in 1997. Within the scope of graduate education, within the scope of Animal Science Department, Master's programs were introduced in the 1994-1995 academic year, and on 21.09.1995, doctorate programs were introduced.

Within the scope of Research and Development in Animal Sciences, making significant contribution to local, regional, national and international animal production procedures, raising scientific personnel who understood modern knowledge and technology and have ability to develop it, to educate Animal Husbandry professionals and Agricultural Engineer to take nationwide and international duty.

In the direction of modern knowledge and technology, developing multi-disciplinary research projects in the solution of animal production problems, in the frame of the integration of animal farms, organizations and related foundations, especially raising quality breeding materials, to play a pioneering role in the management, nutrition and biotechnology of animal production.

Department of Animal Science gives education in different subjects containing large farm animals (cattle, buffaloes and horse), small farm animals (sheep, goat), poultry (chicken, quail, turkey, goose, duck, ostrich) and others (honeybee, rabbit, etc.) raising, nutrition and genetic improvement besides feeds and alternative feed sources, animal biotechnology, computer usage in animal production, planning projects and feasibility, organization, organic agriculture, good Agricultural Practices in the development of Animal Husbandry Professionals and Agricultural Engineer and studying in these subjects for adding values to solve the local, regional and national problems.

In addition to the academic staff, there are 2 workers in the faculty animal farms, 2 public houses fort hem, feed depots and concentrate production unit (1 ton per hour), cattle production ( 120 heads milking cows, 180 heads fattening cattle), Small animal production unit (a barn with 500 heads sheep for putting researches and a barn with 100 heads goat), poultry unit (research barn with the capacity of 1000 chicken, there independent units, climatic and fully environmentally controlled, a quail cage for 400 quails, a automatic laying hens unit with 1500 hens, a laboratory, a poultry slaughtering unit and an equipment depot), a beekeeping unit (25 hives and 75 queen production hives, an instrumental insemination set) and 5 laboratories as two of them pre-laboratory in addition to two fully equipped laboratories, one of them at the central campus, the other one is at the faculty.
