In June, the American Society of Animal Science (ASAS) hosted its annual meeting in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where UF/IFAS Department of Animal Sciences (ANS) faculty and students were recognized.
Students and faculty from ANS participated in the event and earned recognition for their hard work in the field of animal sciences. The event was host to a full schedule of competitions, scientific presentations, and networking and professional development opportunities for attendees. Attending this annual meeting is something faculty and students look forward to every year.
This year the following faculty members were recognized for their talents.
