Department of Animal Production

The department was established in 2005 with the aim of training and graduating scientific cadres specialized in the sciences of livestock and their various types. Study in the Animal Production Department includes all sciences related to poultry birds, sheep, cows, buffalo, fish, and others, which have a direct relationship to human daily food, clothing, and their various needs. The duration of study in the department is four years. The student discusses theoretical lessons and practical observations, as the college administration has provided scientific laboratories equipped with various devices and mini fields for various types of livestock so that the student can watch and practice the theoretical information he receives, which qualifies him to establish various animal projects such as raising poultry, raising cows, fattening calves, raising sheep and goats, and raising Fish and supervision of fields and civil projects. Students are taken on field trips outside and within the governorate to increase the level of field observations and scientific experience for the students.

The master's degree was established in the Department of Animal Production in 2013, then the doctoral degree was created in 2018, and the first doctorate degree was awarded in 2021, making it the first doctorate degree awarded at the University of Kirkuk. The department is headed by Professor Qana Hussen Amin.

Vision, Mission and Objectives

Vision:

The department's mission includes preparing competent agricultural engineers in the field of livestock sciences (poultry raising, sheep, goats, and cows) and urging them to use modern methods in raising farm animals. Conducting research and studies, adopting modern knowledge, and using and disseminating technology in advanced agricultural fields in order to develop agricultural services and projects to serve the community.

Mission:

The department's program contributes to achieving the college's mission, which seeks to discover, disseminate and apply knowledge to manage natural resources efficiently in order to provide food and sustainable agricultural development while preserving the environment. The department is also interested in preparing qualified cadres to develop agricultural production and serve the community by conducting applied research to find solutions to community problems in the agricultural field, especially the fields of soil and water resources, as well as participating in implementing extension programs to transfer knowledge and the results of applied research and participating with other departments locally, regionally and internationally to develop education and research. scientific,

Objectives:

1- Preparing students to be competent engineers qualified to undertake small production projects on their own.
2- Providing students with scientific knowledge and scientific skills that contribute to the growth and development of the sector.
3- Preparing and developing educational and research programs that would lead to achieving and raising standards of quality and scientific efficiency and thus developing the reality of agricultural development in the country, especially the livestock sector.
4- Cooperating with veterinarians in following up on the islands and sales of animals and meat.
5- Preparing research and studies related to the development of (poultry and sheep) fields.
