APSC 1464 Intro. Animal & Poultry Science Laboratory

My official appointment does not include an extension responsibility. However, I author a column entitled “Reproductive Tracks” in the Angus Journal, a national publication, and I am routinely invited to speak at meetings of state, regional or national livestock or veterinary organizations.

The goal of my research has been to investigate methods for controlling estrus and ovulation in order to facilitate the use of artificial insemination and embryo transfer in beef cattle.
