What Can Science Do?

University of California

Abstract

In our group we realize that none of us knows very much about the livestock industry. The sciences and practices involved are too many in number for one mind to grasp. Even collectively we only fairly well cover the entire field. I am sure you all well know I am not an animal breeder; neither am I a geneticist. My excuse for accepting this role at the invitation of the chairman was the hope that I might develop before this group a broad conception of the possibilities which may accrue when science and practice are effectively linked. The livestock industry needs the assistance of that linkage and at present it is in breeding that the greatest rewards are to be obtained.

The biological sciences can be harnessed for the welfare of the livestock business just as effectively as have been the physical sciences for industry. The results of the latter can be seen on all sides.
