Animal Production

The Animal Production study program prepares students for the management of modern animal breeding systems, with an emphasis on quality, sustainability, and welfare. The program encompasses the integration of biology, genetics, nutrition, reproduction, and modern technologies for the purpose of producing safe and high-quality products of animal origin.

The aim of the program is to qualify students to implement the latest scientific achievements in animal husbandry, from selection and breeding to precision feeding and digital farm management. Special emphasis is placed on the preservation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of resources (such as pastures and wetlands), and the application of high standards in the production of milk, meat, and other animal products.

The study program offers a unique combination of fundamental biological sciences and practical engineering. Students prepare for work in the dynamic food production sector, where they encounter state-of-the-art methods of genetic improvement and innovative approaches such as urban beekeeping or organic production.

The program ensures attractiveness through intensive practical training on experimental fields and renowned commercial farms, while international cooperation with leading European institutes provides access to global research projects and mobility.

The study program is an ideal choice for those who want to advance domestic agriculture, engage in the conservation of autochthonous breeds, and solve climate challenges through smart management of animal production resources.

Where can you find employment after graduation?

Upon completion of studies, graduated animal production engineers have a wide range of career opportunities in:

• agricultural companies and farms for milk, meat, and egg production;
• the animal feed industry (quality control and feed formulation);
• selection services and animal reproduction centers;
• the processing industry (dairies and meat industry – raw material control);
• advisory services and agricultural expert institutions;
• research institutes and diagnostic laboratories;
• government authorities and inspection services in charge of livestock and rural development;
• entrepreneurship in specialized production (beekeeping, cheese production, organic farming).

The study program provides a solid foundation for continuing academic development in master’s and doctoral studies at home and abroad.
