Additional Information

The PhD students of the Doctoral School of Animal Science do their research work in fields which are of great interest to agrarians working in the agricultural firms and enterprises of the Great Hungarian Plain. R&D work is an essential task of the doctoral school, because in the animal husbandry sector it ranks as one of the most important in the Great Plain region, and has long-established traditions, serving the preservation of traditional breeds. An even more significant factor is the development, working out, and dissemination of new scientific results. Presently, the broadening of the Doctoral School's activities is in progress. The Doctoral School provides the possibility for research and doctoral work in the area of cattle, horse, and poultry breeding, game management, genetics, and breeding.
