History

The history of the establishment of an agricultural higher education institution in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) begins with the opening of the Faculty of Agriculture Yakut State University. On the basis of this faculty, in 1985 it was created Yakut Agricultural Institute, which in 1995 was transformed into Yakut State Agricultural Academy.

At the origins of higher agricultural education in the republic were people who became a worthy example for today's generation of teachers-A. I. Fedotov, Head of the Department of Therapy and Clinical Diagnostics, D. S. Shakhov, who taught histology, N. A. Barsukov, Head of the Department of Veterinary Medicine; associate Professors K. P. Mikhaltsov, Head of the Department of Physiology, V. A. Petrovskaya, Head of the Department of Feeding and Zoohygiena, S. N. Popov, Head of the Department of Zootechnics, etc.

In the memory of the graduates of the faculty, the pedagogical, scientific and social activities of teachers who invested their talent and soul in the formation and development of higher agricultural education in the republic are preserved. Among them are associate professors Ya. A. Afanasyev, Z. I. Bukovskaya, S. K. Dmitriev, V. V. Lebedev, M. V. Katkov, P. I. Kopeyko, A.D. Kurylyuk, E. G. Korneeva, S. N. Kuklin, P. A. Polyakov, T. V.
