team, the college has repre
sented the northeast region at
the competition for eight of the
past nine years and has won
first place five times.
“The fact that Penn State
has dominated this contest
speaks to the quality of our stu
dents, as well as to the quality
and rigor of instruction that
they receive,” she said. “Our
students excel academically.
They also are prepared in the
practical aspects of production
agriculture, which is apparent
during the contests as question
topics range from applied beef
management to reproductive
physiology.”
In 1999, the college com
bined the majors in dairy and
animal science and poultry
management and technology
into an interdepartmental ani
mal sciences program. This
new major which covers beef
and dairy cattle, companion
animals, horses, poultry, sheep,
and swine equips students
with the latest, most relevant
skills for the changing animal
industry.
