with more information to permit more efficient use of available feeds and feeding practices." "Attesting to the quality of Dr. Baker's research is the respect of his colleagues, students and other staff. His advice and counsel are frequently sought and always profitably received." "In addition to his research, it seems equally important to point out that he has been rated an excellent teacher by undergraduate students in his class and by co-workers as well. Further, his direction of five completed Ph.D. programs and current advising of three Ph.D. candidates has
resulted in excellent theses and research projects. He challenges his students—whether undergraduate or graduate—to pursue those areas of study that demand their best efforts and productivity. In addition, he is currently a co-advisor to the Hoof and Horn Club." "Dr. Baker has served, and is serving, on many university, college and departmental committees. Recently he was elected by his colleagues to a 2-year term as one of the three representatives of the Department of Animal Science to the University Senate."
