The 2017 undergraduate students from animal science, animal science(animal husbandry and veterinary medicine) and aquaculture major in College of Animal Science and Technology of Gansu Agricultural University were selected as investigation target, and the likeability, satisfactory extent, and application effect about virtual simulation technology applied in feed science experiment teaching process were investigated by questionnaire survey. Questionnaire results showed that 59.32% undergraduate students chose the virtual simulation technology as the first choice in review, and the repeated practice in actual operation of offline experiment helped students to improve their capacity in experimental operation, which satisfactory extent was 86.01%. While 88.56% undergraduate students thought that virtual simulation experiment platform benefited to the experimental learning, and 65.25% students considered that usage of virtual simulation experiment platform benefited to master the cores of experiment course. The virtual simulation technology breaks the traditional teaching process like ′teachers teach theory-teachers set an example-students operate-students fulfill the experimental report′, broadens the learning method and interest of students, increases the subjective initiative of students, and resolves the difficulties which there are too short time in teaching process and insufficient in experimental repeat.
