Report of Committee on Animal Husbandry Extension

Abstract

The ultimate in service to the livestock industry and in duty to our profession demands the closest possible cooperation between research and extension work and workers. Research workers are finding that subjects of fundamental practice are more sastisfactorily studied in the field than in the laboratory or at the experiment station. Likewise, extension workers are learning that problems of fundamental research can best be solved at the experiment station. Such understanding leads to definite cooperative relationships between the two groups.

An example of a very satisfactory type of cooperation was that furnished recently in compiling and extending information on the feeding of wheat to livestock. There are additional opportunities along this line in assembling needed and available information on timely topics from whatever source into suitable form for extension use.

A few states have a method of combining demonstration and investigation under the joint control of an extension specialist and a station investigator, the latter determining experimental methods and supervision thereof, and the former handling the set-up, the demonstrational features and the follow-up.
