In September, 1958, the veterinary specialty was added and renamed as the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Guizhou Agricultural College.
In April 1998, the Department of Animal Science and the Department of Animal Medicine were established, which were affiliated to the College of Biotechnology of Guizhou University.
From June 5, 2002 to 10, the College of Animal Science of Guizhou University was established, with animal science departments, animal medicine departments and aquatic science departments. There are independent teaching and experimental buildings: the third teaching building (7th floor) of South Campus and the experimental building of Veterinary Hospital (6500㎡), with 8㎡ laboratories per student. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, Guizhou Province took the development of ecological animal husbandry as its development strategy. At the same time, in the construction of new socialist countryside, animal husbandry is the best way for farmers to develop their economy and increase their income. Therefore, a large number of professionals who know technology, specialty and management are needed. College of Animal Science is the only institution of higher learning in Guizhou Province that trains disciplines such as animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, aquatic products and forage grass. More than 95% of such professionals in the province are trained by the College of Animal Science, which plays an irreplaceable role.

4. Published 268 academic papers, 5 of which were included by SCI and ISTP.
5. Compiled 4 textbooks and 3 textbooks;
The development of disciplines and specialties is based on agriculture, focusing on undergraduate education, actively developing postgraduate education, moderately developing adult education, vigorously carrying out technical training and implementing multi-level education; To serve agriculture, rural areas and farmers as their own responsibility; Emphasizing the application of theoretical knowledge and the cultivation of practical ability, through the training mode of combining production, learning and research, and the effective mechanism of closely combining talent training, scientific research, technology development and production and operation, it is a distinctive school-running feature of local economy, especially the development of ecological animal husbandry in Guizhou.
1, research-driven: students can participate in teachers' research work from the second grade. Some students live in campus practice bases, such as pig farms, scientific research chicken farms, rabbit farms and cattle farms, and go to places and enterprises to participate in teachers' scientific research and be responsible for certain experiments. On the one hand, students are trained and their technical level is improved; on the other hand, teachers' research fees are used to subsidize students and solve the problem of living expenses. Many students publish papers by participating in scientific research activities during their school days.
2. Cooperation with local and enterprises: By developing production and scientific research with local and enterprises, and taking the form of technical services as the technical support and backing of local and enterprises, it not only solves the base of students' professional practice, but also saves part of the school-running funds, and at the same time guarantees the accommodation, safety, transportation and part of the living expenses of students during their off-campus practice. Make production, learning and research go smoothly.
From 2003 to 2007, 604 undergraduates participated in teaching practice, 75 participated in teachers' research projects and published 32 papers. 1 person won the third prize of "Challenge Cup for Extracurricular Scientific and Technological Works of College Students". 1 person won the second prize of "Challenge Cup" for extracurricular scientific and technological works of college students in Guizhou Province.
