Abstract: Animal Behavior and Welfare is a core course for veterinary medicine and animal science majors in agricultural and forestry colleges. However, due to its origin in Europe, after its introduction to China, the course structure, conceptual categories, and theoretical viewpoints are mostly directly borrowed from the knowledge system of animal behavior and welfare abroad. Therefore, there is an urgent need to integrate a large number of ideological and political elements to accelerate its localization process. This article explores the integration of ideological and political elements into this course from four aspects: interpreting national policies, combining local ideological and political elements, promoting Chinese culture, fostering national confidence, telling stories of Chinese scientists, enhancing students’ pride in scientific research, and promoting awareness of agriculture and love for agriculture, as well as undertaking the mission of strengthening agriculture and rural development. It can help to address the issue of the “mechanical transplant” of the knowledge system of Animal Behavior and Welfare in undergraduate animal science courses, accelerate its localization process, and provide a practical path to guide students towards the correct values.
