Cooperation in Animal Husbandry Research¹

Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station

Abstract

May I preface this discussion by a disclaimer, one quite unnecessary to those who know me, though it may be advisable to others. There is nothing in my background of training or experience which would qualify me to speak with authority on many of the technical aspects of animal production or of animal husbandry. Any competency that I may bring to a discussion of the topic assigned me must come under the heading of administration. This means that there will be lacunae in my presentation; these I hope may be filled in by the other speakers on this program, men who have greater technical competency.

I trust that our program-makers intended that we discuss cooperation in animal husbandry research with the expectation that we would do something about it, and did not expect us merely to recite history. We should, if possible, analyse our situation to determine whether cooperation is a real help, a necessary tool. If it is, we should debate how it may be made more effective.

¹ One of a series of three papers on cooperative animal research and regional laboratories, presented before the opening session of the annual meeting of the American Society of Animal Production, December 1, 1944.
