The Faculty's specificity are the Experimental Stations operating at most Chairs, in which various species of farm animals are kept. These stations provide the opportunity to conduct scientific research, as well as didactic activities and student internships. At Experimental Stations, animals of native breeds are also kept, such as: Polish horses, Hucul horses, Zator geese, partridge green hens, high-oxygen Olkusz sheep and standard nutria - covered by the program for the protection of animal genetic resources in Poland.
