Dale E. Bauman is currently professor of nutritional biochemistry and Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor at Cornell University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. Dr. Bauman has been a member of the National Academy of Sciences since 1988 and has served on a number of National Research Council committees and is the current chairman of the Board on Agriculture. His research work with dairy cattle includes mammary gland biology and the regulation of nutrient use in lactation, growth, and pregnancy.
Donald H. Beermann is professor of animal and food science at Cornell University. He received his Ph.D. in muscle biology and human physiology from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. His research interests include meats processing, muscle physiology, muscle biochemistry, and muscle growth and development.
R. Dean Boyd is swine nutrition manager at Pig Improvement Company, Franklin, Kentucky. He received his Ph.D. in nutrition from the University of Nebraska. His research interests include regulation of nutrient use by growing pigs; effects of somatotropin on growth, lactation, and nutrient metabolism; amino acid utilization; and energy metabolism of newborn pigs.
Peter J. Buttery is professor of applied biochemistry at the University of Nottingham, England. He is currently a pro-vice chancellor of the University. He received his Ph.D. from Manchester University and earned a D.Sc. in physiology from the University of Nottingham. His research interests include protein metabolism and growth physiology in farm animals.
Roger B. Campbell is research director at Bunge Meat Industries, Ltd., Australia. He received his Ph.D. in nutritional physiology from the University of Melbourne. Research interests include nonruminant physiology and nutrition, protein/energy interrelationships, computer modeling, and manipulation of growth and body composition.
William V. Chalupa is professor of nutrition at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. His previous research experience includes a five-year tenure as manager of rumen metabolic research with SmithKline's Animal Health Division. He received his Ph.D. in nutrition from Rutgers-The State University. Research work has included energy and protein utilization of foodstuffs by ruminant animals and biochemistry of rumen metabolism.
Terry D. Etherton (Chair) is professor of animal nutrition and physiology at Penn State University. He received his Ph.D. in animal science from the University of Minnesota and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University. Research interests include growth biology and the molecular mechanisms by which somatotropin regulates nutrient metabolism.
Kirk Klasing currently is associate professor of animal nutrition at the University of California at Davis. He received his Ph.D. in nutrition from Cornell University. While still an undergraduate, Dr. Klasing held a visiting professorship at New England University, Australia. He has been involved in research on the role of hormones and partitioning agents in protein metabolism in poultry and nutrient interactions in swine and poultry.
Gerald T. Schelling is currently professor of animal nutrition and growth at the University of Idaho where he formerly served as chairman of the Department of Animal Science. He received his Ph.D. in nutrition from the University of Illinois. Research interests include ruminant nutrition and growth.
Norman C. Steele, since 1968, has served as research assistant to research leader for nonruminant nutrition at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, Maryland. He received his Ph.D. in physiology from the University of Maryland. Research interests include nutrient regulation in swine, control of growth energy metabolism, and effects of somatotropin on nutrient utilization in swine.
