In 2019, it was renamed to the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences.

Currently, the faculty has three graduate departments:

1.Zootechnology, Genetics and Breeding

2.Agrotechnology

3.Biotechnology

The faculty staff consists of 53 lecturers, including 47 full-time lecturers, 3 of them are Doctors of Science, 21 Candidates of Science, PhD, 5 practicing teachers and one foreign professor.
