This report features summaries on all animal research done at Iowa State, and was supported by the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station.

Professor Maynard Hogberg, chair of the ISU animal science department, said the complete report is available online.

“The report combines reports from researchers on campus and out in the state, as well as including research that relates to the beef, dairy, poultry, sheep, goat, and swine industries in Iowa,” Professor Hogberg said. “This year’s report is organized by species and also has sections on animal health, the environment, and companion animals.”

A variety of professionals conducted the research for this report, including ISU faculty, staff and graduate students; visiting scholars; ISU Extension county and field staff; and collaborators from other universities.

“The research covers topics such as improving production efficiencies, environmental quality, and animal product food quality,” Professor Hogberg said. "These all are important aspects of keeping animal agriculture strong and viable, and contributing to Iowa's economy and quality of life.”
