The Development of the American Society of Animal Production¹

University of Wyoming

Abstract

Like many organizations, the American Society of Animal Production had a very unpretentious beginning. During a summer school session at Cornell University in 1908 a group of persons interested in animal nutrition investigations held an informal conference on July 28 and fully discussed the need for an organization, the membership of which would sponsor nutritional research. At the original meeting, thirteen experiment stations and the Office of Experiment Stations of the United States Department of Agriculture were represented.

Before the meeting adjourned a committee was appointed and instructed "to consider the desirability of forming a permanent organization of animal nutrition investigators and, in case it is deemed wise to do so, this committee be given power to call a meeting of animal nutrition investigators at some future time and present plans for permanent organization; that the committee be instructed to make a survey of the field of animal husbandry work and present suggestions for plans of cooperation among various experiment stations."
