The department was started as a section with the establishment of Govt. Agricultural College. It remained as a part of the Agricultural Section until 1942 and then it was made an independent section under the charge of an Assistant Professor. The section was then involved only in teaching up to B.Sc. (Ag.) level. With the start of post-graduate classes in Animal Husbandry and Dairying in 1960, a beginning was made to undertaken research work on problems of applied nature. A post of Professor of Animal Husbandry and Dairying was created in 1961 to head of the department. A small poultry unit was added in 1965 and a small milk processing plant was also installed. The erstwhile Government Agricultural College was transformed into U.P. Institute of Agricultural Sciences in 1969 and then this section was given the status of a division in 1971.
Since the merger of the Institute into Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, this division also changed into Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying under the faculty of agriculture. Presently, the department is running M.Sc. (Ag.) and Ph.D. degree programmes in Animal Husbandry and Dairying with specialization in Livestock Production and Management and Dairy Technology.
The major mandate of the department is to train students at undergraduate and post-graduate levels in the field of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, especially in the areas of Animal Breeding, feeding and Livestock Production and Management, Dairy Technology, Dairy Chemistry, Dairy Bacteriology and Poultry Science.
