Animal Science Graduate Students Honored as Presenters at ASAS Annual Meeting
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Two University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture Department of Animal Science student research posters were recently honored as “presidential picks” during the annual American Society of Animal Science’s Joint Annual Meeting in Kansas City, Missouri. Master’s candidate Ashley Young and doctoral candidate Jamie Hawley were invited to present their posters.
Young’s presentation was titled “Effects of Amino Acid Supplementation of Reduced Crude Protein (RCP) Diets on Fatty Acid Compositions of Subcutaneous Fat and Muscle.” Young’s work seeks to test the effects of a reduced crude protein with supplementation of amino acids on fatty acid compositions of subcutaneous fat and muscle.
Hawley’s presentation, “Effects of Excess Dietary Sulfur on Beef Carcass Characteristics and Quality After Aging,” found that supplementing beef cattle diets with 0.40 percent sulfur had no appreciable effects on steer performance or beef carcass characteristics.
Young’s and Hawley’s posters were two of the 36 chosen by the ASAS president, president-elect and past president from more than 1,200 entered.
