The Department of Genetics and Animal Breeding is an active component of the Faculty of Veterinary and Animal Science at the Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur-5200, Bangladesh. The areas like genetics, breeding, reproduction, molecular biology, biotechnology, and biometry constitute the discipline of Genetics and Animal Breeding. The Genetics and Animal Breeding expert utilizes individual differences and resemblances as a tool for breeding goals to meet selection targets. With the application of quantitative genetics and molecular genetics, a breeder aims to improve the performance of the next generations based on available pedigree and performance records.

The mission of this department is to conserve native animal genetic resources and enhance the reproductive & productive potential of farm animals through appropriate breeding plans and modernised  reproductive technologies. The department aims to impart education at undergraduate, MS, and Ph.D. levels and conduct research of basic and applied nature in genetics and animal breeding.
