The National Academy of Sciences Releases Report on Need for Research Support for the Animal Sciences
Tucker, Ga. - Jan. 12, 2015 - In a study funded in part by the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY), the National Academy of Sciences looked at the needs for research and research support for animal agriculture. The study found that meeting the expected growth in global demand for animal protein will require a greater investment in animal science research. The report identifies research priorities and recommends that governments and the private sector increase their support for this research.
"This is a landmark study that recognizes the importance of research in the success of animal agriculture. The study points out the past decline in funding for research and recommends that state and federal agencies restore funding for animal agricultural research. USPOULTRY is pleased to have been a part of supporting the National Academy of Sciences in their efforts," commented Dr. John Glisson, vice president of research programs, USPOULTRY.
