ASSOCIATION NOTES
The recipient of the American Feed Industry Association Research Award was Gene M. Pesti, Associate Professor of Poultry Science at the University of Georgia. The award consists of $1,500 and an inscribed plaque given in recognition of original, distinctive work demonstrating sound research in poultry nutrition published in the proceeding 10 years. Pesti earned his B.S. degree in agricultural science at The Ohio State University and his M.S. degree in nutrition from Auburn University. He received his Ph.D. in poultry science and nutritional
sciences in 1980 from the University of Wisconsin. Since then, he has been a member of the faculty at the University of Georgia, Athens, GA. Pesti is the author or co-author of 41 refereed papers in scientific journals. His research interests include the: 1) methyl group requirements of broilers; 2) response of broilers to diets varying in protein and energy; 3) methodology of metabolizable-energy determinations and the statistical analysis of the results; 4) relationships between nutrition and genetics, disease, and toxins; 5) mathematical modeling of broiler growth; 6) development of advanced computer programs for feed formulation; and 7) applications of computer programs to teaching. The strength of Pesti's research program resides in his unusual ability to combine classical biological assays with sophisticated computer modeling and advanced statistical techniques. Pesti recognized the limitations of standard, linear-programming techniques for feed formulation and has developed quadratic programming methods designed to determine least-cost broiler output in relation to protein and energy input. Pesti's models have been based on data obtained experimentally, and their applicability is best evidenced by their unusually rapid adoption by a major feedformulation firm shortly after publication. The Pfizer Extension Teaching Award was presented to Thomas A. Carter of North Carolina State University. Carter is a native of Pennsylvania. His father was a county agent, thus Carter has been exposed to a lifetime of commitment to the ideals of extension. Carter received all three degrees from The Pennsylvania State University; a B.S. degree in 1960, an M.S. degree in 1969, and a Ph.D. degree in 1971. Carter worked as a county agent in Pennsylvania for several years, served as production manager with Campbell Soup Company, and worked as an extension specialist at the University of Maryland prior to coming to North Carolina State University as a specialist on commercial egg production in 1976.

in a classroom setting, approximately 650 students during his tenure at Texas A&M and an additional 215 agricultural science teachers in a two-day workshop he conducts each summer. Since 1983, his Collegiate Poultry Judging Team has won four championships in competition with other university teams throughout the country. Krueger has inspired, challenged, and motivated students to achieve academic excellence, a quality that has benefited the student, the Department of Poultry Science, and Texas A&M University. Krueger's commitment to teaching extends well beyond the classroom. He serves as an advisor to the Corps of Cadets at the University, to church youth groups, and to many other student groups on the Texas A&M campus. One of his former students describes him as "my teacher, my coach, my advisor, but most of all, my good friend." In spite of his extremely busy schedule, Krueger has always maintained an "open-door" policy to students, both in his office and in his home. He and his wife, Ruth, have shared many personal hours with his "student family" over the past several decades. Through the years, Krueger has been recognized on numerous occasions for his teaching excellence. As a motivator of students and a true competitor, he has always maintained his integrity. Described as a "teacher of teachers," Krueger symbolizes the ideals that all awards themselves represent, a tribute to a professional who demands the very best of himself and others.

the preceding 7-year period. Bloom received a B.S. degree in biology from Long Island University in 1963, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from The Pennsylvania State University in 1965 and 1968, respectively. He then joined the faculty of Cornell University and was appointed to his present rank of Professor in 1982. The recipient's research career has been characterized not only by the quantity and quality of information that he, his colleagues, and his students have generated, but also by its breadth. Important contributions have been made in three different scientific disciplines: classical cytogenetics, genetic toxicology, and molecular genetics. During the past 7 years, he has published 24 peer-reviewed journal articles, 7 symposium proceedings or book chapters, and 24 abstracts. These papers appeared in a wide range of journals of the highest quality. The overall objective of his research has been the analysis of gene systems that influence the growth, health, and longevity of poultry. That his work has both basic biological significance and practical applicability to poultry science is indicated by such diverse sources of extramural funding as the National Institutes of Health as well as a major poultrybreeding organization. Two major contributions of Bloom's research are worthy of special mention. His development and refinement of the sister chromotid exchange assay, used to evaluate the mutagenic effects of various environmental compounds in poultry, is widely recognized. His pioneering work on this assay has led to its extensive use in industrial testing programs. In addition, his involvement in the mapping of the chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and the nucleolar organizing region (NOR) to a single microchromosome was a major breakthrough. Both of these genetic sequences play essential roles in the health and performance of poultry. The development of an aneuploid genetic stock that produces individuals with 2, 3, or 4 copies of the MHC and NOR has led to important studies on the genetic control and function of these important gene complexes. During the past 7 years, Bloom played an important role in the organization of the Cornell Biotechnology Program and remains a member of the University Biotechnology Advisory Committee. He has also been appointed Associate Director of the Institute for Compar-

became specialist-in-charge of extension in the Poultry Science Department at North Carolina State University in 1982. Carter's extension educational programs have encompassed management, nutrition, and waste management for commercial layers, broilers, and turkeys. As well, he has been instrumental in the development of superb poultry programs for 4-H and youth in North Carolina. Most recendy, Carter has been invaluable to the poultry industry of North Carolina in the leadership of a monitoring program for water quality, pinpointing the source of a variety of production problems. All these activities have been in addition to his full-time duties as specialist-in-charge of extension at North Carolina State University. In this capacity, he has directed the development of the individual programs of eight other specialists. He has also been instrumental in the establishment of two positions for area specialized agents in North Carolina, with continuing support and guidance to these as well as numerous other active county extension programs. Carter is the author of numerous extension educational publications, ranging throughout his areas of expertise. He has traveled throughout the United States as well as the Middle East in support of his extension program and to the benefit of his hosts. Carter's ability to perceive industry needs and to structure extension programs to meet those needs is demonstrated by the vitality and relevance of the extension programs under his direction. He is uniquely able to provide progressive extension programs through the development and support of dynamic delivery systems in all aspects of extension programming.

He has served as a reviewer for numerous journals as well as for the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the United States Department of Agriculture.
The recipient of the American Egg Board Research Award was Oscar A. Pike. The purpose of the American Egg Board Research Award is to increase interest in research pertaining to egg-science technology or marketing which has a bearing on the utilization of eggs or spent hens. Manuscripts published in the Marketing and Products Section of | Poultry Science are eli& ^ ^ ^ H gible, as well as papers nominated from other journals. The award consists of $500 and a memento provided by the American Egg Board. The title of Pike's winning paper was "Effect of Protein Disruption by Denaturation and Hydrolysis on Egg Yolk Lipid Oxidation," published in the Journal of Food Science 53: 428-431. The research indicated that the inherent oxidative stability of egg-yolk lipid was due to the protein in the yolk in the form of lipoprotein. Disruption of that protein by denaturation and hydrolysis caused increased lipid oxidation. Pike's research interests include food lipid oxidation, the extraction of cholesterol and other lipid components from eggs, and the further processing of eggs and poultry. Pike was born June 10, 1957 in Boise, ID. He received a B.S. degree in 1980 and an M.S. degree in 1982 in food science from Brigham Young University. In 1986, he received a Ph.D. degree in food science from Purdue University. That work was under the direction of Ing C. Peng. Pike joined the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at Brigham Young

The recipient of the Poultry Science Broiler Research Award was Hardy M. Edwards, Jr. of the Poultry Science Department at the University of Georgia. The award is contributed by the National Broiler Research Council, consists of $1,500 and a plaque, and is given for distinctive research work published in the preceding five calendar years that had a strong economic impact on the broiler industry. Edwards was born in Ruston, LA. He received a B.S. degree from the Southwestern Louisiana Institute in 1949, an M.S. degree from the University of Florida in 1950, and a Ph.D. degree from Cornell University in 1953. His career has included: Biochemist, International Minerals and Chemical Corp.; faculty member, Poultry Science Department, University of Georgia; and Dean of the Graduate School, University of Georgia. Currently, he is Alumni Foundation Distinguished Professor, Poultry Science Department, University of Georgia. Prior to becoming Dean of the Graduate School, Edwards had published more than 100 journal articles over a broad area of poultry nutrition and had conducted a very active research program in lipid nutrition and metabolism. During this period, he received the American Feed Manufacturer's Association Research Award. Since returning to research from administration, Edwards has concentrated on the problem of tibial dyschondroplasia and other disorders in broilers. Over the past 5 years, he has published 11 papers on this subject. The contributions Edwards has made during the last 5 years toward understanding the
etiology of tibial dyschondroplasia represent the primary basis for the present award. His research has identified several factors that can contribute to tibial dyschondroplasia. They include: feeding low-calcium, high-phosphorus diets; the source of soybean meal; anomalies in vitamin-D3 metabolism; dietary chloride and magnesium; acid-base balance; the compound thiuram; and fasting. Edwards' research has identified potential avenues for future studies and has given nutritionists, physiologists, and other technical-support people in the broiler industry potential options for preventing or for reducing the severity of tibial dyschondroplasia outbreaks in broilers.
