On January 22, 1927, the highest pedagogical institute was opened in Samarkand. As part of this higher pedagogical institute in early 1928, an independent department of zoology was organized, the head of which was entrusted to prof. A.M. Zavadsky.
In 1930, the highest pedagogical institute was transformed into the Uzbek State Teaching Academy. 
On January 22, 1933, the Uzbek State Teachers' Academy was transformed into the Uzbek State University.
Prof. A.M.Savadsky was in charge of the department of zoology until 1934. He mainly conducted scientific research on fauna, biology, distribution and practical significance of invertebrates. 
After the departure of prof. A.M.Savadsky, the department was entrusted to prof. B.G. Turkevich. During these years, the department worked doc. M.S.Burnashev, A.T.Tulaganov, S.K.Dal. 
Thus, the Department of zoology was divided into two separate departments and the research work of each of the departments for the study of fauna, biology, ecology and the practical significance of invertebrates and vertebrates in the valley of Zeravshan valley began to be carried out independently.
In 1937-1938 doc S.K.Dal was appointed to the position of head of the department of zoology of vertebrates. In 1934, under his leadership, his brother K.K. Dal and K.K.Povarova  jointly organized the university's zoological museum.

All these years, the department conducted research on fauna, biology and ecology of insects, especially on the biological method of protecting agricultural plants from pests. 
Under the direction of C.G.Bronstein, a biomethod laboratory was organized. The results of research carried out by employees are widely embedded in the practice of agriculture. The use of biological protection methods of plants was carried out on the scale of the former Union and a number of foreign countries. In the same years, dozens of author's certificates, patents, and biometode licenses were obtained, a number of conferences, symposiums and manuals and books were published.
