ABOUT THE AUTHORS

DALE E. BAUMAN is Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor in the Department of Animal Science at Cornell University. He received his undergraduate and Master’s degrees from Michigan State University and his Ph.D. degree in nutrition-biochemistry from the University of Illinois. Prior to his appointment at Cornell University, he was an associate professor at the Department of Dairy Science at University of Illinois. Bauman’s research interests include biochemical and hormonal regulation of nutrient utilization for growth, pregnancy and lactation, nutrition and metabolism of ruminants, mammary gland biology, mechanisms of somatotropin, biology of food-producing animals, and animal agriculture. Bauman and his colleagues crystallized the concept of homeorhesis, the process of long-term regulation of nutrient use during a particular physiologic state such as lactation. His concepts of metabolic regulation are widely accepted and applied to many aspects of developmental biology. In 1988, Bauman was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. He served as chairman of the Board on Agriculture from 1994 to 1997 and was a member of the Board from 1990 to 1994. His service to the Academy has included membership on numerous committees, among them most recently, the oversight commission for Ensuring Safe Food from Production to Consumption and the authoring committee for the report, Metabolic Modifiers: Effects on Nutrient Requirements of Food Producing Animals.

ROBERT J. COLLIER received his B.S. degree in Zoology from Eastern Illinois University in 1969. After service in the Army Medical Corps, he obtained his Master’s degree in zoology from Eastern Illinois University in 1973 and his Ph.D. in physiology from the University of Illinois in 1976. His dissertation research was on the endocrine regulation of lactogenesis in the dairy cow. In January 1976, Collier accepted an NIH postdoctorate in the Dairy Science Department of Michigan State University in the laboratory of Allen Tucker. His research was on the regulation of cortisol uptake in mammary tissue of cattle. In September 1976, Collier joined the Dairy Science Department at the

DANNY G. FOX is Professor of animal science at Cornell University. He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from The Ohio State University, with his graduate training in ruminant nutrition. After earning his B.S. degree and before attending graduate school, Fox was a full-time crop and livestock farmer in Western Ohio. For the past 25 years, Fox’s research has been focused on the nutrient requirements of cattle varying in biological type, and the development of computer programs to predict nutrient requirements and performance of cattle with wide variations in cattle type, feed composition, feeding system, environmental and management conditions. While at Cornell since 1977, he has conducted research in cattle nutrition, and he currently teaches a course on “Livestock and the Environment.”Over the past 20 years, he and a team of scientists at Cornell have developed the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System for Evaluating Beef and Dairy Cattle Diets, which is widely distributed in the United States and internationally. Together with his colleagues, Fox has conducted pasture research for 15 years to evaluate pasture quality and matching cattle and forage management systems. In recent years, Fox has become involved in Cornell’s Sustainable Agriculture program, and heads multidisciplinary projects on “Integrating Knowledge to Improve Dairy Farm Sustainability”and “Developing Software for Whole Dairy Farm Nutrient Management.”His research and extension programs have resulted in over 150 invited presentations
