Location
The Board of Study (BS) has functioned since the inception of the PGIA producing experts to cater to the needs of the livestock/fish production, product processing and allied sectors in the country. The Board has developed various new dimensions in its academic programmes during the past few decades. As the teaching panel and the members of the BS are from the University of Peradeniya as well as various other institutions, the Board always had the opportunity to interact with different segments of the animal production sector of the country and to use this advantage to develop its activities. From the inception, the Board offered postgraduate courses in various disciplines of Animal Science. From time to time new courses were introduced considering the national importance of such courses. Presently, in addition to the Degree Programme in Animal Science, the BS offers degree programmes in Poultry Science and Technology, Dairy and Meat Product Technology and Aquatic Bio-resources Management and Aquaculture.
