Stevenson's research has focused on establishing breeding protocols that will reduce daysopen and the variation in calvings intervals indairy cattle. His work in demonstrating reducedefficacy of prostaglandin F2a in the lactatingdairy cow compared with the dairy heifer hasshed new light on the problems associated withsynchronizing estrus. His published work alsohas shown that age of the corpus luteurn has aneffect on the luteolyticefficacy of prostaglandin F2a' Addressing the repeat breeder, Stevenson has shown the beriefits gained by' the administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormoneat the time of artificial insemination. He hasalso demonstrated the positive effects of usingexogenous gonadotropin-releasing hormone inthe postpartum cow, especially those sufferingfrom periparturient disorders. His work withsuckled and milked dairy cows elucidated thereturn of the positive feedback of estrogen onthe secretion of luteinizing hormone involvedin the initiation of cyclicity postpartum. Otherstudies include examining the interaction ofthyroid gland and its secretions with sexualbehavior in cattle.
On behalf of the selection committee, I extend sincere congratulations to Jeffrey S.Stevenson, the recipient of the 1990 AgwayInc. Young Scientist Award.

animal science faculty at the University of Minnesota since 1963.
Otterby was one of the first to have information on the use of bovine somatotropin overmultiple lactations. He has conducted researchtrials involving more than 600 cows and hasinvestigated the effects of bovine somatotropinadministration on calf birth weights and mortality, incidence of mastitis, blood profiles, andanimal performance in research trials on farmsand university research herds. Current researchincludes a study of bovine somatotropin effectson a group of cows selected for 25 years formilk yield and on a second group of controlcows with 1964 level genetics. The averageannual milk. yield of these two groups differsby more than 6000 pounds. There are manyquestions concerning whether or not cows atvarying genetic levels respond differently tobovine somatotropin administration. Otterby'sresearch should provide considerable insightregarding this· issue. Otterby has been concerned that consumers and the dairy industryunderstand biotechnology and, specifically, theuse of bovine somatotropin. He has met withmany consumer groups as well as producers toexplain what bovine somatotropin is and todiscuss the issues concerning its use. He hastestified before committees of both the Minnesota House and Senate on proposed legislationconcerning bovine somatotropin. His calm andreasoned approach has been particularly valua-
ble in bringing understanding to what often hasbeen a contentious debate. Otterby's teachingskills, which have received special recognitionin past years from the University of Minnesotaand ADSA, have served him well in this endeavor. Otterby's commitment to education isunderscored by his teaching and advising schedule. He has taught and continues to teach partsof five different courses. He has advised orcoadvised an average of 8 graduate studentsand 10 to 20 undergraduates for each of thepast 5 years.
The recipient has been very active in ADSA;his committee service includes the Feeding andManagement Committee, the selection committees for the Teaching Award and the GraduateStudent Paper Award, Production CouncilCommittee member, Editorial Board of JournalofDairy Science, Dairy Production Committee,and the Nomination Committee.
On behalf of the selection committee, it ismy personal pleasure to present Don Otterby asthis year's recipient of the American CyanamidAward.
CITATION FOR CARL E. COPPOCKRECIPIENT OF THE 1990
AMERICAN FEED INDUSTRY AWARD
Carl E. Coppock of Texas A&M Universityis the recipient of the 1990 American FeedIndustry Association Award, which recognizes
outstanding contributions in dairy nutritionresearch. Coppock wasborn in Dayton, Ohio.He obtained a B.S.degree in dairy sciencefrom Ohio State University, an MS. degreein dairy husbandry fromTexas A&M, and aPh.D. in dairy sciencefrom the University of
Maryland. From 1956 to 1958, he was employed by International Voluntary Services as alivestock specialist in Laos. During his Ph.D.program, he was employed as a dairy husbandman by the USDA-ARS at Beltsville, MD andstudied energy metabolism. In 1964, Coppockjoined the extension and research staff of Cornell University as an assistant professor, and in1977, he accepted his current teaching, re-

search, and extensive position as Full Professorat Texas A&M.
His early work at Cornell on complete rations provided a foundation for one of the mostsignificant changes in dairy feeding and management in the last 30 years. The completeration system of feeding now has been adoptedby many dairy producers, both with large herdsand with small herds. The principles developedfrom Coppock's research have also been implemented by many dairy producers nationwide,resulting in major increases in milk yields andmilk production efficiency.
Coppock's work on dietary chloride levelsprovided the first solid basis for recommendedconcentrations in practical rations for lactatingcows, and it is the basis for chloride requirements included in the 1988 National ResearchCouncil;s Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle. Chloride was the last major mineral element to be studied in large animal nutrition.Recently, his knowledge of chloride allowancesprovided the basis for a paper showing that avery large percentage of the salt fed to cattle,especially to beef cattle, in Texas and probablythroughout much of the arid Southwest was notneeded because of the concentration of sodiumand chloride present in feedstuffs and in drinking water.
When he moved to Texas A&M, he recognized the unique nutritional problems associated with the high temperatures and high humidity of the region. A major focus of hisrecent research has been to identify nutritionaland feeding and management factors that mayalleviate the detrimental effects of heat stresson dairy cows. This includes projects on theeffects of various sources of dietary buffers andindividual minerals, the effects of drinking water temperature, and recently, the effects ofniacin and high fat feedstuffs, especially wholecottonseed, on milk yields and composition inhot weather. This work has been, and willcontinue to be, the basis for progress in improving the efficiency of milk production.
Coppock has published extensively. Duringthe last 10 years he and his students and colleagues published 37 papers in refereed journals and 31 abstracts of papers presented atnational meetings. Coppock "goes the extramile" to disseminate his research results directly to the dairy industry, and since 1980, hehas authored 24 popular articles in publications

such as Hoartf s Dairyman and Feedstuffs. Hehas presented 35 invited lectures out-of-stateand internationally during that time. His expertise has been recognized by his ADSA peersthrough invitations to present five review articles and invited papers at ADSA annual meetings during the 1980s.
His service to ADSAhas been exemplaryand includes being Chairman of the ADSAFeeding and Management Committee, Chairman of the Ralston Purina Teaching AwardsCommittee, ADSA Production DivisionNominating Committee, Chairman of theADSA Host Institution Committee, a memberof the Editorial Board of the Journal of DairyScience, a member of the ADSA Journal Management Committee, Chairman of the ADSAAdvisory Committee to FDA on bovinesomatotropin, and most recently, as Secretary,Vice Chair, and Chair of the Production Division.
Coppock clearly is a very deserving recipient of the 1990 American Feed Industry Award,and on behalf of the selection committee, it iswith great pleasure that he is presented as thewinner.

Our awardee has been applying biotechnology principles to dairy starter cultures since1970, long before biotechnology becamefashionable. His many breakthroughs and contributions have developed an entirely new fieldof research within dairy starter cultures andhave made McKay an international leader inlactococcal genetics.
McKay's research career has been devotedto two main areas. First, he has sought to betterunderstand dairy starter cultures in general inorder to construct more reliable strains for dairyproduct fermentations. Second, he has attempted to increase the base knowledge of thegenetics of these strains in order to facilitate thework of others in the area. His vision has beennot only to develop better, more efficient dairyprocessing but also to achieve improved dairyproducts with superior quality and resistance tospoilage and pathogenic bacteria
McKay's laboratory was the first to establishthat lactococci harbor a diversity of plasmidswhose functions are subsequently being elucidated by the work of McKay's and other laboratories worldwide. His original breakthroughwas to establish that many of these plasmidscode for metabolic functions essential for milkfermentations, such as lactose utilization, proteinase activity, citrate fermentation, and bacteriocin production and resistance. Additionalnoteworthy achievements include the initial development of transduction, conjugation, andtransformation systems applicable to lactococci.Professor McKay's group has cloned the Lactococcus lactis DNA segments responsible forlactose utilization, bacteriocin production andresistance, nisin resistance, and several bacteriophage-resistance mechanisms. In addition, hisgroup has cloned the p-galactosidase gene fromStreptococcus thermophilus.
McKay's accomplishments have been theresult of a team approach, and one key to hissuccess is his ability to organize, guide, andmotivate his research group. Key figures inMcKay's accomplishments include his associate scientist of 20 years, 34 completed graduatestudents, 6 postdoctoral students, and numerousvisiting scientists. Many studep.ts advised byMcKay now hold key academic and industrial~sitio~s in the fields of food biotechnology,IDlcroblOlogy, food processing, and dairy starterculture genetics.

1975 and 1978, respectively. He joined theFood Science Department at North CarolinaState University in 1978 as Assistant Professorand was promoted to Professor in 1988, the research and teaching position he presently holds.
Klaenhamrner's research is in the area ofmolecular genetics of starter culture bacteria.The research has focused on development ofgene transfer systems for the lactic acid bacteriaaimed toward improving starter culture bacteriaimportant in the daily industry. Major effortshave included three areas: 1) definition andmolecular characterization of plasmid-encodedmechanisms, which protect lactic streptococci·from attack by bacteriophages; 2) characterization of the biochemical and genetic propertiesof the antimicrobial proteins produced by lacticacid bacteria; and 3) development of genetransfer system for molecular characterizationand manipulation of lactobacilli.
Klaenhamrner's group has been very instrumental in the pursuit of genetic approachesto improve the phage resistance of the lactococci used in the manufacture of cultureddaily products. His group provided the firstphysical evidence that plasmid-encoded mechanisms exist for phage defense in the lactococci.The group has employed molecular approachesto define and characterize the genes and theresistance mechanisms and have used geneticapproaches to develop lactococci that are notsensitive to bacteriophage.
During the past 5 years, Klaenhamrner andhis colleagues have made major contributionsto the development of genetic systems in Lac-

Director of Research of the Dairy Herd Analy-sis Service. From 1979 to 1981, Kennedy wasAssociate Professor at the University of California, Davis. In 1981, he joined the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at theUniversity of Guelph.
Kennedy has made important scientific con-tributions in a wide range of practical andtheoretical topics. His early use of additiverelationships among sires and genetic groupingsin sire evaluation played an important part inthe development of current dairy genetic evaluation systems. His work on genetic evaluationproblems associated with the use of reproductive techniques has provided new dimensions toimprovement programs that had not been considered by other researchers. Kennedy's contributions to the merging of quantitative genetictheory with the linear model approach to animal evaluation have provided valuable understanding of modes of inheritance and geneticimplications of the use of the animal model inpopulations undergoing selection. Parallel developments on identification of major gene effects have been essential in establishing newand comprehensive methods for animal improvement using both molecular and quantitative genetics.
Kennedy's current research continues to bemost timely and relevant. He is currently expanding his studies on the integration of animalmodel methodology with quantitative geneticsfor the estimation of nonadditive and extranuclear genetic effects. He is also furtherexamining the integration of information at themolecular level with quantitative techniques forgenetic improvement and genetics of immuneresponse and disease resistance.

CITATION FOR JEAN·LOUIS MAUBOISRECIPIENT OF THE 1990
MARSCHALL INTERNATIONALDAIRY SCIENCE AWARD
The 1990 recipient of the Marschall International Dairy Science Award, Jean-LouisMaubois of France, pioneered the application of
membrane processingof milk for cheese making. In 1969, he, asprincipal investigator,and two associates obtained a French patenton the MMV process, arevolutionary approachto cheese production.Conventional separationof curds and whey wasreplaced in the MMV
process by membrane separation of milk constituents. The new process enhanced cheeseyield and could be conducted almost continuously. A US patent on the process was issuedin 1973.
1 to r. John H. Nelson read the citation for Jean-LouisMaubois, recipient of the 1990 Marschall InternationalDairy Science Award. Doug Willrett, Marschall ProductsRhone Poulene, presented the award.
The impact of membrane processing on thecheese industry continues to be enonnous. By1988, the MMV process was being utilized insome 23 countries for the manufacture of tensof thousands of tons of cheese annually. Cheesevarieties that are commercially produced utilizing membrane technology include Camembert,Brie and other soft French types, Feta type,Riccotta, Mozzarella, and Cheddar.
Jean-Louis Maubois was born December 9,1938 in Dorlisheim, France. He earned an engineering diploma in agronomy from the EcoleNational Superieure d'Agronomie, Rennes, anda dairy technology diploma from the InstitutNational Agronomique, Paris, both in 1961. Heearned a degree in biochemistry from the University of Paris in 1963.
In 1961, Professor Maubois began his research career as an assistant at the RennesLaboratory of the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA). He was promoted to Officer of Research in 1973. Since1976, he has been Director of the INRALaboratoire de Recherches de TechnologieLaitiere, in Rennes, France.
Early in his career, with R.t'badeau Dumas,he conducted pioneering studies on the separation of casein and whey proteins. He was thefirst to crystalize ovine lactoalbumen. Workingwith Mocquot, he developed the sponge theoryof cheese yield. The work enriched the knowledge of cheese yield phenomena and providedmathematical equations for predicting cheeseyield.

Maubois has continued to make significantcontributions to membrane science and technology. He developed a process for the preparationof enteric foods from whey, utilizing enzymemembrane reactors. These peptide-rich foodsare useful in treatment of serious illness, supplementing or stimulating deficient digestivefunction.
Maubois and his colleagues have extensivelyresearched microfiltration, another membranebased process. Microfiltration can producenear-sterile skim milk, which can be combinedwith UHT-treated cream and manufactured intocheese.
His basic research and original ideas continue to stimulate worldwide interest in newdairy foods and processes. His efforts beginning in 1%5 have led to approximately 107publications, including 18 patents.
In 1980, he was elected to the French National Academy. He is redacteur en chef of LeLait, the leading French dairy science journal.
Maubois has consistently displayed exceptional foresight as well as dedication to research on milk-derived foods. In a 1988 addressto the International Dairy Federation, he outlined some challenging opportunities for membranes and biotechnology in the dairy industry.He envisions a variety of roles for membranetechnology in the production of milk-derivedfood, including membrane removal, constituentseparation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and production of biomass and biologically active peptides. He closed by stating ''The...applicationsof membrane techniques also demonstrate onceagain the biological value, the molecular valueof this marvelous raw material, milk."

Schmidt has used modeling to evaluate thebiological and economic consequences of varioosmana~m~sce~os~c~~~~
topics and evolving dairy management trends.Schmidt and his colleagues were among thefirst to apply spreadsheet templates as a research technique in dairy management; thesestudies resulted in a number of significant andpractical findings. For instance, Schmidt andhis coworkers found that use of multicom~
nent and cheese yield pricing systems improvedthe profitability of non-Holstein relative to Holsteins, that at least a 15% increase in milkproduction per cow and low feed prices werenecessary to make three times per day milkingbe more profitable than two times, and thatprofitability of bovine somatotropin depends onthe ability of the producer to feed and managefor high production per cow.
As personal computers and software becamemore ~werful, Schmidt moved into the application of expert systems as an advanced methodology for dairy herd management decisions.Duplicating the decisions of a professionalnutritionist at the herd level and the detectionof estrus with a deep body thermometer areapplications that he and his students have developed with expert systems modeling.

monitor intraovarian follicular dynamics andcorpus luteum development in postpartum cowsfed a variety of diets. A statistical model wasdeveloped to describe development of the various size classes of follicles. He demonstratedthat differences in energy balance associatedwith diet and stage of lactation influence follicular growth and that supplemental dietary fatcan markedly alter ovarian follicular dynamics.From this work, he hypothesized that growthfactor activity during the postpartum periodlimits optimal follicular development. By usingin vitro culture of mouse fibroblast cell lines,he has shown that general growth factor activity is low in postpartum plasma and follic'·-~ar
fluid and that activity increases when energybalance returns toward zero. Using the technique of ligand binding, he subsequently identified specific ICF-binding proteins in postpartum plasma and follicular fluids. He iscurrently characterizing these inhibitory proteins biochemically, and with molecular biology techniques he is probing for the expressionof these inhibitory proteins and growth factorsby ovarian tissues. Additionally, his collaborative efforts have contributed to the biochemicalcharacterizations of dominant versus nondominant ovarian follicles during periods ofrecruitment and selection associated withovulatory follicle development.
Lucy has developed a research program thatbridges the disciplines of reproductive physiology and nutrition by exploitation of traditional,biochemical, and molecular techniques to address a problem of practical importance to thedairy industry. With continued increase in milkproduction per cow, his findings are certain tohave a major impact on the dairy industry.
Lucy is a member of ADSA, American Society of Animal Science, the Society for theStudy of Reproduction, and Gamma SigmaDelta. He has authored 12 refereed publicationsand 10 abstracts.

contributions include 1) the identification andcorrection of factors that cause low cheeseyields; 2) the development of rapid, accuratetesting procedures for the cheese and dairyindustry; 3) the characterization of the mechanism of fouling of ultrafiltration membranesand development of methods to improve theefficiency of ultrafiltration; and 4) research onsomatic cell proteases that has given the cheeseindustry an understanding of how mastitis influences dairy product quality and cheese field.Barbano thinks that as the value of casein isrecognized, cheese milk will be eventually paidfor on a basis of casein concentration and quality. Premiums currently paid to dairy farmers forlow somatic cell count milk are the first step inthis direction.
As a researcher and Extension specialist,Barbano has enjoyed working with the cheeseindustry. Transfer of technology to the industryhas been a important part of his job satisfaction. He also enjoys his position because itallows him to see the industry of the future andmany of the problems that will arise. He likesgraduate students who have an interest in bothbasic and applied knowledge. He takes pride inseeing his students succeed in their careers.Many of his graduates are working in the dairyindustry.

CITATION FOR ROY L. AXRECIPIENT OF THE 1990
UPJOHN PHYSIOLOGY AWARD
The 1990 recipient of the Upjohn Physiology Award is Roy L. Ax, Head, Department ofAnimal Sciences, University of Arizona Tuc
son. Ax was bom inRockford, Dlinois onApril 20, 1951. Hereceived his B.S. degreein 1973 (agriculturalscience), M.S. degree in1974 (reproductivephysiology), and Ph.D.degree in 1978 (reproductive endocrinology)from University of Dlinois, Urbana, Dlinois.
After 1 year of postdoctoral work. in the Department of Molecular Medicine, Mayo Clinic,Rochester, Minnesota, he joined the faculty ofDepartment of Dairy Science, University ofWisconsin-Madison where he worked as Professor and Director (1986 to 1990) of the campus-wide Endocrinology-Reproductive Physiology Graduate Training Program until March1990. At that time, he moved to the Universityof Arizona as Head, Department of AnimalSciences.
The work of Ax, his colleagues, and hisstudents has made significant contributions tomodem reproductive physiology. Uncoveringthe role of proteoglycans in follicular fluidduring growth of the follicle followed by therelationship of the proteoglycans to the preparation of the bovine sperm for fertilization byway of the true acrosome reaction was_originaland innovative. Ax and his colleagues chemically identified many components of the proteoglycans and proved their effectiveness in
Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 73, No. 12, 1990
preparing the sperm for fertilization by virtueof inducing the acrosome reaction. They didthis across several species as well as within thebovine, suggesting that these proteoglycansmay be nature's way of preparing mammaliansperm for ovum penetration..
Their work has paved the ground for in vitrofertilization, Le., specific glycosaminoglycanspointed to by Ax's work, namely, heparin, hasnow become a frequently added ingredient tosperm capacitation media prior to in vitro fertilization. Preparation of the sperm for fertilization has actually been more critical than preparation of the ovum in vitro fertilizationsystems, thus making the findings quite important to areas requiring in vitro fertilization ova,particularly those involved with genetic engineering. In addition, Ax and· his colleagueshave further capitalized on the practicality oftheir findings by using glycosaminoglycan-induced acrosome reactions and sperm receptorsfor glycosaminoglycan as potential criteria forthe evaluation of semen. They showed differences in the glycosaminoglycan-binding capacity of sperm from poor versus good qualitysemen. The published work on tl]e use of heparin in in vitro fertilization media as well as theuse of heparin and chondroitin sulfates for theevaluation of bovine sperm quality reveals thevision and foresight of this research programand the important aspect of its application tothe AI industry and, in tum, the dairy industry.

Along similar lines, Ax contributed to the practical application of GnRH to the postpartumcow and the cystic animal; the use of DNAassay in estimating spenn numbers (concentrations); and the use of structural gene configuration and specific milk-related traits in cattle, inparticular, lactation honnone traits. This latterwork is tedious and of long duration but couldcontribute greatly to selection of dairy sires inthe future. Several patents have been awardedand others are pending related to his research.
In addition, Ax has over 100 scientific publications and book chapters, 40 invited papersand symposia proceedings papers, 85 abstracts,and 70 popular press articles to his credit.

WEST AGRO, INC. AWARD
The recipient of the 1990 West Agro, Inc.Award is Gerald M. Jones of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Jones was
born in Gouveneur,New York and receiveda 2-year degree in dairyfarming and a B.S.degree in dairy husbandry at Cornell University. He completedhis M.S. degree in animal nutrition at the University of Maine, andhe received a Ph.D. indairy science at the
Pennsylvania State University. He began hisprofessional career at MacDonald College as anAssistant Professor of Animal Science in 1968.In 1974, he accepted a position at VirginiaTech, and currently he holds the rank of Professor and Extension Dairy Specialist.
Jones has been a member of the AmericanDairy Science Association for the past 27 years.During that time he has served on the EditorialBoard of Journal of Dairy Science, chairedsymposia and special events committees, hasbeen a member of the Education and Extension
Committee, and served as representative to theNational Mastitis Council.
The recipient has made tremendous scientific and technical contributions to the prevention and treatment of mastitis, milking management and hygiene, and to the production ofquality milk. He was one of the first to recognize the importance of somatic cell counting foruse in a mastitis control program, and his pioneering work was the first to show that therewas a negative and dramatic relationship between moderate increases in somatic cell countand milk production. Jones' extension education program was one of the first to provideguidelines for use and interpretation of Dillsomatic cell counts, and his work showed theimportance of using on-farm screening testsbefore milk from treated cows is returned to thebulk tank.
Recent research and extension programshave concentrated on the control of Staphylococcus aureus mastitis through Dill testing. Hehas also been involved with studies testing theeffectiveness of penicillin and novobiocin atdrying off as a means of mastitis control. Hehas evaluated the influel)ce of stray voltage inthe milking parlor and conducted an in-depthextension education program in this area. Inaddition to these major research thrusts, Joneshas had a very effective milking managementprogram through which he has been able toapply basic findings to improve the quality ofmilk at the farm level.

The basics of his research program have ledto the extension managed-milking program,which has been highly successful. Evidence ofthis is the enrolbnent of Virginia herds in theDHI somatic cell count program. In 1977,272herds on the program averaged 494,000 cells!mI, and last year, the 1989 average was210,000 cells!mI in 634 out of 711 herds ontest. His educational program with stray voltagehas resulted in improved procedures for testingfor on-farm problems by many milking equipment dealers and electric companies.
His recent work has centered on evaluationof antibiotic residues in milk. He has shownthat cephapirin and penicillin treatment withholding times are too short and that dairyproducers should use on-farm screening tests.He has also been working with a commercialcontractor to develop an ELISA test for thepresence of S. aureus in milk and utilization ofsuch tests through DHI.
Jones has received several academic awardsincluding the Virginia Tech Alumni Award forExtension Excellence (1987), the GammaSigma Delta Outstanding Extension FacultyAward (1984), and the Upjohn Quality MilkManagement Award (1978). The recipient iscommitted to helping the dairy industry throughthis extension program, and he is sought bymany professional organizations and farmgroups for presentations. For his outstandingcontributions to mastitis abatement, the American Dairy Science Association is pleased topresent the 1990 West Agro, Inc. Award toGerald M. Jones.
