  Basic Animal Sciences Research Report   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Meeting the goals of a premier basic animal sciences program in research and teaching at ISU depend upon human resources, infrastructure of facilities and equipment, and extramural support for the attraction of highly talented scholars at the undergraduate and graduate level of training.
Animals contribute 53% of all food consumed in U.S. Animal products provide 76% of the protein, 81% of the calcium, 67% of the phosphorous, and 30% of the energy in the average American diet.
ISU's niche in basic animal sciences in the future should be the integration of new knowledge developed at the cellular and molecular level into an understanding of the biology of the intact animal.
