Honorary Fellows of the American Society of Animal Science 1984

Marvin Carl Bell was born November 24, 1921, in Centertown, Kentucky. He received the B.S. degree in 1947 and M.S. degree in 1948, from the University of Kentucky and the Ph.D. degree from Oklahoma State University in 1952. He married Betty Triplett in 1948, and they have two daughters. He joined the University of Tennessee in 1951 and served in animal science both at Knoxville and UT-AEC Oak Ridge Laboratory.

He is author of over 100 scientific articles with emphasis on mineral metabolism and radiation effects in animals using ⁴⁵Ca, ³²P, ⁶⁴Cu, ⁶⁵Zn, ⁷⁵Se, ⁶⁰Co, ¹⁸F, ¹³¹I, ²⁸Mg, ¹⁴⁴Ce, ⁹⁹Mo, ⁹⁰Sr, ¹³⁷Cs and the stable isotopes of most of these elements. Carl and his associates showed that ingested fallout settles in the most ventral portion of the rumen, reticulum and abomasum, causing severe local damage, and thus reducing survival rate of livestock on pasture. These fallout simulation studies resulted in scientific and popular articles, a slide tape set and a 23-minute color movie on livestock protection.
