- Provide opportunities for members to exchange ideas about research,
teaching, and extension in animal science.

History
- The Canadian Society of Animal Science originated from Eastern and
Western sections formed over 70 years ago. The Western Canadian Society
of Animal Production was organized in 1925 with Professor Sackville
from the University of Alberta as its first president. The following
year saw the formation of the Eastern Society of Animal Production with
Professor Toole from the Ontario Agricultural College as its first president.
- A national executive was established in 1951, and in 1971, the name
of the Society was changed to the Canadian Society of Animal Science.
The Society was incorporated in 1985. In 1996, CSAS became a founding
Associate Member of the Agricultural Institute of Canada (AIC). Further
