DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL SCIENCES ANNUAL REPORT

2014-2015

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Dear Animal Sciences Colleagues, Alumni and Friends,

The contents of this annual report are provided for the purpose of

documenting another year in the life of this department and so that

interested persons can have a glimpse at the nature and extent of the

Department’s activities and accomplishments. I have highlighted a few

additional noteworthy initiatives to complement the typically quantitative

description contained in this report.

Our undergraduate and graduate numbers declined a bit in the past year. Animal Science and

Poultry Science majors declined from 192 to 185, and our graduate student total declined from

31 to 28 students. Women account for 89% of our undergraduate population and 54% of our

graduate population. Our undergraduate population has considerable ethnic diversity, while that

is not the case at the graduate level. From Fall 2014 through Summer 2015, 33 B.S. degrees were

awarded – 2 in Poultry Science and 31 in Animal Science. The decline in graduate student total

is not due to a shortage of applicants. Of the 44 applicants, only 8 were new enrollees. This is a

reflection of funding available from our faculty for support of new graduate students. Five

graduate students received their Ph.D. degree and two received their M.S. degree.

An overview of the Animal Science and Poultry Science curricula in this department follows.

The total number of undergraduate courses (< 600 course number) taught in Fall semester is 14,

and 24 in Spring semester. The course with the largest enrollment each semester is AS 200,

Biology and Appreciation of Companion Animals, with an enrollment of 130-140 students. Our

Poultry Science curriculum is taught in collaboration with the Midwest Poultry Consortium and

its instructors from other member Midwestern universities. The Poultry Science curriculum

consists of 6 courses, each worth 3 credits and taught only in the Summer session. Enrollment in

these courses ranges from 14 to 18 students, with essentially all of these students receiving a full-

tuition scholarship from the Midwest Poultry Consortium to attend.

Fifty-one sub-grants, grants and contracts were submitted in 2014-2015 and 37% of them were

funded for a total value of $1,310,343. While this rate of success is good, funding from federal

sources is increasingly difficult to win and is our lowest category of success at 30%. This has

prompted our faculty members to seek funding from State, UW System and private sources. One

of our novel initiatives involves generation of ideas that involve new uses for molecules

extracted from non-meat tissues of livestock. Conversations surrounding this initiative have

occurred with companies who recognize the potentially patentable knowledge that resides in this

topic and the business opportunity afforded by this knowledge. Funding to research the merit of

these ideas has been provided by these companies and WARF to three faculty laboratories

(Cook, Reed and Richards) in this department. This novel initiative has resulted in substantial

progress toward garnering $18.4 million of support for our meat lab capital project.

Numerous faculty members received noteworthy awards in the past year. This department is

proud of the career achievements by Jim Claus (American Meat Science Association

Distinguished Teaching Award), Mark Cook (Midwest Poultry Consortium Faculty Member of

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

the Year, UW-Madison Entrepreneurial Achievement Award), Dan Gianola (Hilldale Award in

the Biological Sciences), Mark Richards (Eby Lecturer in Poultry Science at North Carolina

State), Jeff Sindelar (American Meat Science Association Distinguished Extension Industry

Award) and Dave Thomas (Award of Appreciation from Dairy Sheep Association of North

America.

Mention was made above to our meat lab capital project. This project will occur with a total

budget of $45.7 million based on $22.8 million from State support and $22.9 from private sector

support. Documents for the 100% design have recently been completed and are now under

review. Ground-breaking is targeted for October 2016 and occupancy is targeted for August

2018. It is an exciting project that has consumed countless hours from our meat science faculty

and staff. The progress of this project can be followed at http://meatsciences.cals.wisc.edu/ .

It is my wish that your perusal of the content of this report will bring pride to your remembrance

of this department. We have a very dedicated staff and faculty in this department who provide

excellent service to our students and stakeholders. I am so pleased to have them as my

colleagues.

This will be my final cover letter for departmental annual reports. Tom Crenshaw will assume

the department chairmanship on July 1, 2016. My term as Department Chair began on July 1,

1999. I have enjoyed these years as Chair because of the subject matter that this department

encompasses and our people. Serving in this role has been a highlight of my professional career.

I am thankful to my colleagues and staff for their support of my leadership over this span.

With kind regards,

Daniel M. Schaefer

Professor and Chair
