Champaign, IL (June 7, 2024)—The American Dairy Science Association® (ADSA®) is pleased to announce Mary Beth Hall as the 2024 recipient of the American Feed Industry Association Award. The award will be presented on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, during the awards ceremony at the ADSA Annual Meeting in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The American Feed Industry Association Award was created to stimulate research in dairy cattle nutrition. The award recognizes an individual who has made a worthy contribution to research of dairy cattle nutrition within the 10 years immediately prior to the year of the award. The winner must have published original research work; conducted research at a public institution, hospital, or similar institution; and been a member of ADSA for at least five successive years.
Mary Beth Hall is a research animal scientist in dairy cattle nutrition with the United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) at the US Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison, Wisconsin. She received her BS and PhD degrees from Cornell University and her MS from Virginia Tech. Pre-PhD, Hall worked as a County Agricultural Cooperative Extension Agent in New York State; post-PhD, she worked as an associate professor in dairy cattle nutrition research and extension at the University of Florida. With a focus on the industry’s needs, her research centered on nonfiber carbohydrates—their analysis in feeds, utilization by rumen microbes, and impact on cow performance.
It is with great pleasure that ADSA and the American Feed Industry Association Inc. present Mary Beth Hall with the 2024 American Feed Industry Association Award.
