He pointed out that there is still a gap between the development level of animal husbandry in China and that in developed countries, and narrowing the gap and improving the level is the primary task and research direction of animal science majors. Later, Sun Boxing showed the importance of scientific breeding and mating in the development of human society and the significance of animal science research to freshmen through three cases of horse breeding, dog breeding and the social use of cattle.
