Departmen of Animal Nutrition and feed technology

Introduction

Department of Animal Nutrition and Feed Technology, previously named as Department of Animal Feed-Microbiology-Pasture, is one of the oldest departments of faculty of Animal Science and Veterinary, Agriculture and Forestry Uninversity was founded in 1956.  In 1971, the department was renamed the Department of Feed and Microbiology. By 1984, it was reorganized and renamed the Department of Feed – Microbiology – Pasture, comprising three divisions: Animal Nutrition, Microbiology in Animal Production, and Pasture. On January 25, 2007, following Decision No. 159/QĐ-NN1 of the Rector of Hanoi University of Agriculture (formerly University of Agriculture 1), the Faculty of Animal Science and Aquaculture was officially established by separating from the former Faculty of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine. Since then, the department has been officially named the Department of Nutrition and Feed, as it is known today.
