Over the time course, under the influence of social-economic transformations and the development of education, the organization of agronomic scientific research and academic life passed through various stages of institutional structuring process. It is remarkable that the second half of the XIXth century and the beginning of the new century was the period which recorded the names of great forerunners in the process of agricultural education and research activity, like Ion Ionescu de la Brad, the author of the first handbook for agriculture and animal husbandry (1871), Petre S. Aurelian, Constantin Sandu-Aldea, Vlad Cârnu-Munteanu, G. Munteanu-Murgoci, Nicolae Filip, George Maior, C. Vasilescu, Carol Davila, Ion Athanasiu, Paul Riegler, Ioan Poienaru, Ioan Ştefan Furtună, V. Lucaci and others. The first agricultural scientific institution in our country was founded in 1886 as the Central Agronomic Station, later on being included as a section of the Agricultural Research Institute of Romania in 1927. The following scientific institution, the Institute of Veterinary Research – Pasteur was set up in 1895, and its perenniality and steady development can be followed within time, up to the present day. The same year, the Zootechnical Institute is organized being attached to the Department of Animal Husbandry of the High School of Veterinary Medicine and in 1926, the National Zootehnical Institute is set up which in 1949 became the Institute for Zootechnical Research (IZR) having a network of several research stations (Bonţida, Pădureni, Runcu, Ruşeţu, Popăuţi, Palas, Dulbanu, Mărculeşti etc.).
