Honorary Fellows of the American Society of Animal Science 1987

Gerald C. Anderson received his B.S. from the University of Massachusetts in 1946 and his M.S. (1948) and Ph.D. (1950) degrees from the University of Missouri. He joined the faculty of West Virginia University in 1950.

Dr. Anderson's early research concerned the growth response in suckling pigs fed purified diets fortified with sources of the animal protein factor. Subsequent to the identification of the factor as vitamin B₁₂, life cycle studies involving purified and corn-soybean diets established the pig's requirement for this vitamin. Later research dealt with the ruminant's use of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) and led to identification of NPN source, time, carbohydrate, diethylstilbestrol and tissue adaptation as items affecting nitrogen retention. His recent studies have dealt with hill land grazing systems, forage preference and the effect of early social experience of ram lambs on adult reproductive behavior.

No calling surpasses teaching in Dr. Anderson's view, and this belief is reflected in his classes, which until recently concerned the nutrition and ethology of domestic animals.
