A South Dakota State University (SDSU) Dairy Science professor was recently honored for his work in amino acid nutrition of lactating dairy cows.
The American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) and the American Society of Animal Science (ASAS) recognized David Schingoethe with a symposium on the topic in his honor.
The symposium took place at the annual Midwest ADSA/ASAS Meeting in Des Moines, Iowa. Schingoethe is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Dairy Science at SDSU who devoted his career to research, teaching and mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students in Dairy Cattle Nutrition and Physiology.
This year’s inaugural symposium was chaired by Dr. David P. Casper, Assistant Professor of Dairy Science, SDSU and a former M.S. and Ph.D. student of Dr. Schingoethe. Fund raising will be held in the upcoming months to ensure that the symposium continues for future Midwest ADSA/ASAS Meetings.
The goal of the Schingoethe symposium was to focus on a specific topic of Dairy Cattle Nutrition each year that can range from calf nutrition through lactating dairy cows. The symposium was a combination of invited presentations and selected abstracts that mesh with the symposium focus.
