学校历史与办学源流
内蒙古农业大学是内蒙古自治区成立最早的本科高等院校，由原内蒙古农牧学院和内蒙古林学院于 1999 年合并组建而成。追根溯源，1952 年原河北农学院、平原农学院的畜牧兽医系和山西农学院的兽医专业整建制迁至呼和浩特，组建了内蒙古自治区第一所本科高等学校——内蒙古畜牧兽医学院；1958 年内蒙古林学院成立，是新中国在少数民族地区建立的第一所高等林业院校；1960 年内蒙古畜牧兽医学院更名为内蒙古农牧学院。1999 年两校合并正式组建内蒙古农业大学，2001 年成为国家西部大开发“一省一校”重点支持建设大学，2012 年成为自治区人民政府与国家林业和草原局共建高校，2013 年进入国家“中西部高等教育振兴计划”支持院校行列，是全国绿化模范单位，被誉为塞外“花园式高等学府”。

Historical Evolution
IMAU is the earliest undergraduate higher-education institution established in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It was founded in 1999 through the merger of the former Inner Mongolia Agricultural and Animal Husbandry College and the former Inner Mongolia Forestry College. Its roots go back to 1952, when the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department of Hebei Agricultural College, the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department of Pingyuan Agricultural College and the Veterinary Specialty of Shanxi Agricultural College migrated in their entirety to Hohhot to form the Inner Mongolia Animal Husbandry and Veterinary College, the autonomous region’s first full-time undergraduate institution. The Inner Mongolia Forestry College was established in 1958 as the first forestry institution of higher learning in a minority-region area of New China, and in 1999 the two colleges merged to form today’s IMAU. IMAU was approved in 2001 as a key university supported by the national Western Development Strategy, became a co-built university of the autonomous region government and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration in 2012, and joined the national Higher Education Revitalisation Plan for Central and Western China in 2013. The university is recognised as a national greening model unit and is widely known as a “garden-style institution of higher learning” beyond the Great Wall.
Disciplines and Key Research Platforms
IMAU is a multidisciplinary university with agriculture at its core and grassland livestock farming as its defining strength, spanning eight disciplines including agriculture, engineering, science, economics, management, literature, law and the arts. The university now operates 26 colleges and academic departments. Disciplines include 1 national key discipline, 3 nationally cultivated key disciplines, 26 provincial-ministerial key or cultivated disciplines, 2 autonomous-region peak disciplines and 9 second-round autonomous-region first-class disciplines. 4 disciplines rank in the global top 1% of ESI, with Agricultural Science and Plant and Animal Science consistently on the threshold of the top 1 per-mille. IMAU hosts 12 postdoctoral research stations, 15 first-level doctoral degree authorization points and 24 first-level master’s degree authorization points, and operates 1 national-level field scientific observation and research station, 38 provincial-ministerial key laboratories and engineering research centres, 1 national-level university science park and several autonomous-region collaborative innovation centres. Long-standing strengths include grassland and livestock farming, lactic acid bacteria screening and dairy fermentation, which is supported by a National-Local Joint Engineering Laboratory, as well as grassland resource protection and sustainable utilisation, northern protected agriculture, and cold-and-arid-zone forestry. IMAU has been designated by the Ministry of Science and Technology as an International Science and Technology Cooperation Base since 2010 and has long undertaken national science and technology support programs as well as major science and technology projects of the autonomous region.
Faculty and Talent Development
IMAU has 2804 staff, including 1857 full-time teachers, 1 full-time foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 1 valid candidate for the Canadian Academy of Engineering, and 3 valid candidates for the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

The university hosts 2 national-level teaching teams covering 8 pilot programs under the National Outstanding Agriculture and Forestry Talent Education Plan, and the Grassland Resources and Sustainable Utilisation Faculty Team has been selected into the fourth batch of National Huang Danji-style Faculty Teams.
Research Innovation and Social Service
IMAU’s research concentrates on the autonomous region’s leading industries of grassland livestock farming, dairy processing, northern protected agriculture, cold-and-arid-zone forestry, water-saving irrigation in cold arid zones, forage and grassland science, northern forestry industry, and bioenergy. Over the past five years the university has undertaken nearly 1000 research projects annually under the National Key R&D Program, the National Science and Technology Support Program, key and general programs of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and major science and technology programs of the autonomous region, with annual research funding exceeding 400 million yuan. In the past three years IMAU-affiliated first or corresponding authors have published more than 100 high-level papers in journals including Science China-Materials, Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, Journal of Hazardous Materials, CATENA, and Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, covering topics such as grazing ecology of desert steppe, metabolic regulation by yeast beta-glucan, precision nitrogen monitoring of drip-irrigated potato, sustainable utilisation of grassland resources, soil amelioration of freeze-thaw farmland, green locust control, and bio-based multi-functional materials. The university funds 30 university-level science and technology innovation teams, of which 3 are supported under the Ministry of Science and Technology Key Field Innovation Team Program, 3 under the Ministry of Education Science and Technology Innovation Team Program, and 8 under the autonomous region’s science and technology innovation team program. In 2015 the Green Animal Product Processing Collaborative Innovation Cultivation Centre and the Modern Healthy Equine Industry Development Collaborative Innovation Cultivation Centre were approved by the autonomous region Department of Education.
Campus Internationalisation and Agricultural Outlook
IMAU covers a total area of 14400 mu, with the main campus covering 2311 mu and research and teaching equipment valued at 1.57 billion yuan. IMAU has established partnerships with more than 60 universities and research institutions in over 20 countries along the Belt and Road and beyond, and jointly operates the Sino-Mongolian Bioenergy Research Center with the Mongolian University of Life Sciences, supporting regular faculty and student exchanges and joint training programs. Rooted in northern China, the university focuses on the leading industries of the autonomous region, including grassland livestock farming, dairy processing, northern protected agriculture, and cold-and-arid-zone forestry, and has long undertaken national science and technology support programs and major science and technology projects of the autonomous region, supporting collaborative research through 14 autonomous-region science and technology innovation teams and translating research outcomes in grassland ecological protection, desertification control, cold-and-arid-zone agriculture, specialty forestry, and green animal product processing. Looking ahead, the university remains committed to fostering virtue and nurturing talent, strengthening agriculture and revitalising rural areas, and will continue to contribute to building a high-level agricultural university with distinctive features, to serving high-quality development of the autonomous region, and to advancing the modernisation of China’s agriculture and animal husbandry.
