Champaign, IL (June 7, 2024)—The American Dairy Science Association (ADSA®) is pleased to announce that Lance Baumgard has been named Fellow of the American Dairy Science Association. The award will be presented on Sunday, June 16, 2024, during the opening session at the ADSA Annual Meeting in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The purpose of the ADSA Fellow distinction is to recognize Dairy Foods division and Production division members of ADSA who have rendered distinguished service to the dairy industry over 20 years or more. The recipients must have made exceptional contributions to the dairy industry, to a dairy-related discipline, or to ADSA; in addition, the recipients must be and have been a member of ADSA for a minimum of 20 years.
Lance Baumgard is a distinguished professor and the Normal Jacobson Professor of Nutritional Physiology in the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University. He researches milk fat synthesis, metabolism, energetics of the transition and heat-stressed cow, and immunometabolism. Baumgard and his colleagues have recently focused their research efforts on the energetic and mineral requirements of an activated immune system. In particular, he and his group are describing how immune activation alters nutrient trafficking and, ultimately, reduces farm animal productivity.
It is with great pleasure that ADSA presents Lance Baumgard with the 2024 Fellow of the American Dairy Science Association distinction.
