by the Council of Official Poultry Tests. C. Membership affiliations in American Institute of Biological Sciences, American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology were continued. D. The Executive Board voted to limit the Graduate Student Awards of Excellence to one per student, thus eliminating the award to the same student in succeeding years. E. The Executive voted a contribution of $1000 to support the publication of a bulletin describing careers in poultry science and industry to young people. Further support from industry will be solicited. F. A second conference for Animal Agriculture, to follow the first conference at Boyne Mountain, Michigan, which would promote more support for animal agriculture and research, received the support of the Executive Committee. G. The Executive Committee expressed concern for the decline in the number of poultry departments in the United States and Canada. The present count is 17 in the US and 1 in Canada. H. The University of Wisconsin has extended an invitation to host the 1989 annual meeting of the Poultry Science Association. The Executive accepted the tentative invitation pending the receipt of a formal written invitation from the Wisconsin administration. At present, an invitation for the 1988 annual meeting remains open. Signed: D. B. Bragg President

ation, Inc. was held at 10:00 p.m., August 31, 1982, immediately following the awards banquet at the University of California at Davis. Committees were selected for 1982—1983 and tentative locations were discussed for the midyear meeting, either at Atlanta, Georgia, just before southeastern meeting, or in Denver, Colorado. II. The midyear meeting of the Executive Committee was held at the Denver Airport Sheraton Hotel, Denver, Colorado, on February 20 and 2 1 , 1983. Reports from several committees were received. The Editorin-Chief reported that the December printer delay has been eliminated by having annual meeting material ready before November 15 and by organizing the index for all months except December ahead of time. As a consequence, publication time for December 1982 was 315 days compared to 395 days in 1981. A proposal to publish in Poultry Science the proceedings of a Symposium "Energy Utilization by the Chicken", which was part of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Meeting, was turned down by the Executive Board. The board felt that a precedent should not be set for the publication of symposia or reviews not sponsored by the Poultry Science Association. Several amendments to the Constitution and Bylaws of the Association, as proposed by the Constitution Committee, were approved for submission to the general membership for voting at the annual meeting in August. The Secretary-Treasurer reported that as of December 1982 there were 1894 members of the Association and Poultry Science had a total circulation of 3539. Section and session chairpersons and two symposia ("Metabolism and Growth in Poultry" and "Water Conservation/Re-Use During Poultry Processing") for the 1982 Annual Meeting were approved as proposed by the Program Committee. III. The Executive Committee met on August 7, 8, and 9 at the University of Maryland, Baltimore Campus, Catonsville, Maryland. The following actions were taken: A. Reports from each PSA committee and organization representative were received and accepted. B. The Graduate Student Manuscript Award of $200 has been implemented. The award is supported from funds provided

Van Krey is stepping down as Section Editor for Physiology and Reproduction. K. E. Nestor, Ohio State University, was recommended as his replacement, and the appointment was approved by the Executive Board. B. Publication Time. 1. The average number of days from receipt to publication for the period January 1981 through June 1983, during which time we have published 12 issues per year, was 341 days. 2. For the first 6 months of 1983, review time ranged from 106 days in Environment and Health to 195 days for Market-

ing and Products; overall average is 341 since the beginning of the 12 issues per year. 3. We are concerned about the relatively long publication time for Research Notes. The time for publication of these should be shorter than for the individual sections. Suggestions on how to remedy this situation are being solicited from the Editorial Board.

D. Constitutional Revision—The Publication Committee and Editorial Board.

(a) The Editorial Board shall consist of the Editor-in-Chief, Section Editors, Associate Editors, Business Manager, Technical Editor, and Index Editor, who shall be identified in the official journal of the Poultry Science Association, Inc. (b) The Editor-in-Chief, Section Editors, and Associate Editors are selected by the Executive Committee to a threeyear term, subject to reappointment for an additional term on a rotating basis so that two Section Editors are appointed or reappointed each year.

The American Poultry Historical Society has again enjoyed a busy year. The following activities and projects were undertaken.

During the past year payment of invoices for reprints and page charges is much slower. We have outstanding invoices in the amount of $907.75 for one year, $288.80 for 9 months, $1,949.26 for 6 months, and $561.45 for 3 months. Statements are sent each month after 60 days for 3 months, and if no response is received, a registered letter is sent with a request for signature of delivery. In the 15 outstanding invoices, 5 are United States and 10 are Africa and India. The PSA currently affiliates with three organizations paying annual dues. Those are Council of Agricultural Science and Technology ($1,800) World Poultry Science Association ($40), and American Institute of Biological Sciences ($900). CAST and World PSA have been paid; AIBS is due in October or November 1983. Preregistration material was mailed on April 13, 1983; as of August 1, we had preregistered 590 professional members, 44 nonmembers, 110 students, and 444 family members. Through preregistration, 952 adult and 88 children tickets were sold for the barbeque and 591 tickets for the banquet. A comparative financial report for the first 6 months of 1983, 1982, and 1981 is in Table 1. Lower income in 1983 over 1982 and 1981 is due to late billing for reprints and page charges for one issue. Increase in journal cost is due to an 8% increase from the printer.

1. The Hall of Fame brochure was updated and a supply made available for distribution at the National Agricultural Library in Beltsville, Maryland, where the Hall of Fame portraits are displayed. 2. A booth was set up and manned at both the Southeastern and Midwest Conventions. 3. The triannual Hall of Fame selections were announced as follows: Herbert Bird, T. C. Byerly, Don Corbett, Hermon Miller, and George Nicholas. Formal presentation of the portraits will be made at appropriate events later in 1983. 4. The oral history program of the society was announced at the annual meeting in January and is proceeding. 5. Sales of the history book continue but now are at a very reduced rate. 6. Four issues of the quarterly newsletter were prepared and distributed. The society is still seeking information to complete the list of biographies in connection with a prominent poultry persons designation. 7. Additional materials have been received and placed in storage. The society is now looking forward to perhaps relocating some of the material we have stored and getting it in places of greater visibility. The society would welcome greater participation from PSA and other organized groups in further identifying and preserving materials and records of the industry's history. The society is focusing much attention on history and heritage. This would seem like an opportune time to capitalize on this interest and in the process assure that our industry will be properly recorded in the history of agriculture.

ASSOCIATION NOTES Report of the Poultry and Egg Institute Award Committee

The Poultry and Egg Institute Award Committee for 1983 was composed of H. R. Ball, N. A. Cox, J. L. Heath, A. J. Maurer, and L. E. Dawson, Chairperson. This award is presented every two years, during odd years, and. should attract an unusual number of nominations. This was not the case this year. Only two nominations were received, and these both came from the same university unit. Because the department chairperson refused to differentiate in his support information, the committee made the selection based on the excellent nominations and appropriate support. The name of the 1983 award winner was announced to the President of Poultry Science Association, in April, 1983. Signed: L. E. Dawson Chairman

Report of the Poultry Science Association Research Award Committee

Ten nominees were received, and five were selected to be elected as "Fellow". It is suggested that a definite set of rules be given for future selection.

The members of the PSA Research Award Committee evaluated 98 articles published by 67 authors in the 1982 issue of Poultry Science. The selection was made by distributing the list of authors and articles to the committee in mid-January. A list of 5 candidates was submitted by each of the committee members during the first two weeks of April. The final selection was made from among three candidates whose names were proposed more than once. In early June, the committee had unanimously selected the recipient of the award. I would like to thank the members of the committee: T. J. Sexton, D. A. Rowland, R.M.G. Hamilton, and W. H. Burke for their participation and time in the selection process.

Report of the Broiler Research Award

Committee

The committee received nominations for several individuals in various fields of poultry science. All nominees were considered to be eligible based on the requirements for this award. As always, judging outstanding people from various disciplines is a difficult task. Despite this, the-winner was chosen on the first ballot. The committee is appreciative of the financial support of this award by the National Broiler Council. Signed: K. N. May Chairman

Report of the Poultry Science Representative to the Ralston Purina Research Fellowship Awards Committee The Ralston Purina Research Fellowship Awards Committee met in St. Louis, Missouri at Checkerboard Square on February 16, 1983. Members of the committee were: Gary T. Lane, University of Kentucky, representing the American Dairy Science Association; Dean William F. Bennett, Texas Tech University, representing the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant colleges; Harold A. Henneman, Michigan State University, representing the American Society of Animal Science; Joseph M. Vandepopuliere, University of Missouri, representing the Poultry Science Association.

There were 66 applications. The distribution was as follows: poultry science 20; dairy science 16, animal science 30. The greatest improvement over last year was in the area of poultry science with the number of applicants increasing from 12 to 20. Following a thorough review of the applications, the committee awarded fellowships to 1 student in animal science, 3 in dairy science, and 2 in poultry science. These are listed in Table 1. All recipients accepted the fellowships for 1983 to 1984. William Flowers, the second alternate for 1983 to 1984, was a recipient for an Award in 1982 to 1983. Veenhuizen and Whetstone were award recipients for the two previous years, 1982 and 1983. Ralston Purina invited the 1983 award recipients and their spouses to St. Louis. They visited the Checkerboard Square office-research complex and the research farm at Gray Summit. This was an excellent opportunity for everyone to become better acquainted and share institution and industry ideas. The stipend for the Ralston Purina Fellowships is $6400. The number of applicants increased over last year and the academic performace continues to be outstanding. PSA members are urged to encourage all qualified students to apply. Even though past academic performance is a major criterion in the selection process, the small differences observed among the many excellent submissions emphasizes the importance of supplementary information. The committee expresses appreciation for the assistance of the Ralston Purina representatives George H. Kyd, Ray Dankenbring, and Carol M. Scott. Signed: J. M. Vandepopuliere Representative

Report of Departmental Status Committee This year we were asked to survey the poultry sections or departments in the United States and Canada for the current status of the gradu-

ate students and academic staffs as to sex and ethnic background. The same survey forms were used as in the 1980 report (Poultry Science 59:971-975). Seventeen universities have Poultry Science Departments in the United States. In addition, responses were obtained from thirty-three departments in the United States and six institutions in Canada. There is one Poultry Department in Canada. For the academic staff, a total of 378 individuals was indicated for the United States and 41 for Canada. Respective breakdowns are as follows: US

ASSOCIATION NOTES Report of the Committee on Drugs and Chemicals

a. Human food safety is now a part of the Bureau of Veterinary Medicine of FDA. This is expected to improve greatly the speed at which new drug applications are processed. b. The policy of FDA seems to be to continue to hold aflatoxin levels to 20 ppb for feed, although the allowable level of aflatoxin has been elevated to 300 ppb for cottonseed meal used in poultry, beef, and swine feeds. There is a petition currently in review that would allow ammoniation of cottonseed meal to increase nonprotein nitrogen, not to eliminate high alfatoxin levels. c. Gentian violet can be used as a mold inhibitor at 8 ppm. Research is currently underway on toxicology. d. Lester Crawford, Director, Bureau of Veterinary Medicine, reported that the Bureau is currently trying to improve the process for drug approval. Twenty-seven drugs are currently on "expedited review" (formerly called fast track). e. Poultry has the best record of any animal commodity for residue avoidance. The overall violation is less than .5% and those are mostly sulfas in turkeys.

One of the most significant happenings during the past year was the issuance of the document "New Animal Drug Applications; Safety and Effectiveness Data Supporting the Approval of Minor Use New Animal Drugs" that appeared in the Federal Register, Volume 48, No. 10, January 14, 1983. Our colleagues who deal with game birds may look forward to some relief in the future concerning approval of medications. Unfortunately, turkeys are considered by FDA to be a major species in terms of drug

approval; therefore, pharmaceutical companies will have to continue to go through the lengthy process of approval currently required. Thus, availability of new compounds for medicating turkeys will probably continue to be quite limited. A workshop in minor use was held in Rockville, Maryland under the joint sponsorship of FDA and the IR-4 Program. At this meeting, a priority list was established for the clearance of drugs for the treatment of various poultry diseases. Again, however, this will relate only to minor species. Signed: Michael D. Ruff Chairman

Report of the Committee on Environmental Quality The PSA Committee on Environmental Quality (CEQ) performed a monitoring function, continued special projects under the direction of committee members, and sponsored a symposium at the 1983 PSA meeting. A list of these activities and projects is presented with the person(s) assuming the leadership role listed in parentheses after each item. 1) A symposium entitled "Water Conservation During Poultry Processing" sponsored by CEQ will be presented at the 1983 PSA meeting. (R. L. Wesley, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) 2) Special projects at the University of Manitoba are currently underway. They include a project dealing with wash water at both egg grading stations and poultry plants to eliminate product contamination, particularly with salmonella. Another project studying the difficulty of removing oil from the wash water in processing plants is also underway. (N. Guenter, University of Manitoba) 3) Extension educational programs are underway on residue avoidance (RAP) in several states. Two of these programs are under the leadership of CEQ members. (R. L. Wesley, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) and C. J. Wabech and J. L. Heath, University of Maryland) This report is submitted by the Committee on Environmental Quality. Signed: J. L. Heath Chairman

The Business Manager recommended at the midyear meeting that we increase page charges from $35 to $45 and increase reprint charges by 20%. This proposed increase in page charges would raise an additional $25,000 in revenue and the increase to reprint charges would provide $5,600 more income. These proposed increases will be considered at the annual meeting. The following history of page charges is provided as background information: Year 1962 (first year of page charges) 1972 1975 1976

Page Charges $5 per page or fraction thereof $10 per page or fraction thereof $30 per page or fraction thereof $35 per page or fraction thereof

Actual page costs for 1976 were $51.00 and $70.00 for 1982. Thus, other sources of funds (subscriptsions and membership dues) help subsidize the actual page charges. The higher page charges would help recover the increased costs since 1976. Signed: Glenn W. Froning Chairman Poultry Science Association Publicity Committee Report There were no meetings of the committee during the year. All communications were by written correspondence. The committee was polled for thoughts about requesting news releases from symposia speakers, scientific presentations, etc. Except for the President's address and the reporting of award winners in the last day's annual meeting newsletter, the majority of committee members did not favor requesting new releases from scientists. In addition, the following activities were undertaken by the chairman: 1. Prepared articles for all the PSA Newsletters during the year.

The financial records for 1982 were audited by Virgil F. Lafferty and Son. Financial statements were found to represent the position of the Poultry Science Association and accounting procedures were found to be in accordance with accepted practices. A positive operating income of $1,542.99 and an investment income of $35,044.87 was reported for 1982. Since retained earnings for 1982 were $322,939.68 and operating expenses were $302,941.11, the Association is making progress toward a goal of V/z times the operating expenses. The following budget for 1983 was accepted by the Executive Committee at the midyear meeting:

*Proposed increase of page charges from $35 to $45 (+ $25,000) and 20% (+ $5,600) increase in reprint charges will be delayed until the annual meeting.

Report of the Professional Development Committee During the past year, discussions have taken place orr professional development activities that relate to sabbatical or professional leaves and to graduate student development or recruitment. As a result of these discussions, the Committee recommends that a section of the PSA Newsletter be established for the interchange of information on sabbatical or professional leaves. Information on opportunities available in educational institutions and commercial enterprises could be listed. Those persons interested in leave opportunities for professional development could make their interests known in this section of the PSA Newsletter. Hence, the PSA Newsletter could serve the function of facilitating the interchange of information between poultry scientists and educational institutions, research laboratories, government agencies, or industry locations. It appears that no specific recommendation can currently be made on matters of graduate student development and recruitment by this committee. It may be advisable to have some administrative directive from the PSA Executive Committee since this issue has ramifications for the Departmental Status Committee, the Careers Committee, as well as the Professional Development Committee. Basically the question involved is whether or not PSA can aid in the development of future poultry scientists. In this area recruitment, education, training, and future employment are all involved. Signed: Edward C. Naber Chairman

Report of the Poultry Science Research Committee The main activity of the Poultry Science Research Committee during the year has been distribution of the "Animal Agriculture" brochure developed jointly by the American Dairy Science Association, The American Meat Science Association, the American Society of Animal Science, and the Poultry Science Association. The following research priorities were identified in the brochure: — Integrated reproduction management — Cellular mechanisms controlling the synthesis of animal protein and lipids — Animal health — Integrated nutrient management — Food processing and acceptability Copies of the brochure were sent to all chairmen of animal science and poultry science departments. The Chairman of the Intersociety Council also forwarded copies of the brochure to House and Senate Agriculture Committee members. Copies were also sent to USDA officials in Washington for appropriate distribution. In addition, several copies were sent to William L. Brown, National Research Council, with a request that he share information in these brochures with George A. Keyworth, Science Advisor to the President, Office of Science and Technology Policy. It is recommended that the committee next year initiate work on new strategies to promote animal agriculture to gain more appropriate funding of animal research. Signed: H. L. Marks Chairman

Report of James E. Rice Memorial Library

The James E. Rice Memorial Library resides in the Albert R. Mann Library on the campus of Cornell University at Ithaca, New York. The collection is in good hands and continues to grow. As always there is a need for all interested parties to be on the lookout for additional material as new volumes appear or rare old items are located. In the 1982 to 1983 year the earned income ($4,080.00) was the largest ever and Dr. Murphy, the librarian, tells me the prospects for 1983 to 1984 appear quite good also. The item of wages shown in the financial statement is for work being done on the new poultry thesis list (1951 to 1981)

Report of the Teaching Committee The Teaching Committee has solicited ideas for enhancing visibility and improving the quality of teaching in poultry science. Suggestions received, discussed, and forwarded to the Executive Committee include: 1) a symposium as part of the general program in 1984, 2) minisymposia featuring educational authorities representing the host institution, 3) a one or two-day workshop after the annual meeting on computer applications in instruction. The Teaching Committee has not acted upon information provided from the minutes of the Executive Committee by PSA President Bragg suggesting that the Teaching Committee should look at "an adequate curriculum for training of poultry scientists". However, a study of undergraduate poultry science programs in the US was completed in 1977 (Poultry Science 57: 8 7 5 - 8 8 8 , July 1978). The suggestion that successful teaching programs be considered with industry input in developing minimum requirements for poultry science majors has not been addressed by the Teaching Committee this year. The Teaching Committee strongly recommends that a symposium on instruction in poultry science be conducted as a part of the general program of the 1984 annual meeting or as soon thereafter as possible. We believe that the input of the total association membership is needed to identify needs and share strengths in poultry science instruction, especially at the undergraduate level. Such a symposium could also give direction to the Teaching Committee

Reproductive Efficiency. Reproductive efficiency in chickens and turkeys is influenced by numerous factors such as nutrition, disease, genetics, and physiological status of the bird. Although not biologically related, production economics and marketing situations of the commercial poultry industry exert a significant influence on reproductive results. Thus, an integrated reproductive management program involving industry and university would provide a more realistic situation. Furthermore, this integrated multidisciplinary approach would provide a focus of expertise, resources, and educational efforts. Significant industry needs revolve around seasonal fertility decline, broodiness control, body weight-egg production interrelationships, and relative shortness of the egg laying cycle. Significantly, the areas having the most promise to improve reproductive efficiency through a multidisciplinary, integrated (research-extension-industry) approach are: 1) fertility-spermoviduct interrelationships as influenced by environment, insemination techniques, and physiological status of the birds (female and male); 2) body composition (fat, protein), body weight, and neural reproductive hormones interrelationships involved in controlling the onset of egg production, intensity, and persistency of lay, and the length of the egg (and semen) reproductive period; 3) delineation of a genetic program to select for a "package" of diseases rather than selecting for disease resistence singularly; and 4) broodiness control relative to neural reproductive hormones, management procedures, and interrelationships with body weight and feed intake. Animal Welfare. The production of poultry meat and eggs is the most efficient type of animal agriculture. However, the use of certain production practices has been the focal point of severe criticism by animal welfare and animal rights groups. Extension can play a vital role by developing educational programs that will help make poultry producers aware of existing problem areas and ways that stresses can be minimized or possibly eliminated. Some areas that

in developing projects to best serve the needs of the Association.

ASSOCIATION NOTES

1. Energy utilization and conservation. Areas for cost reduction would include the recapture of heat from the scalder overflow, refrigeration system, and boiler exhaust system. 2. Resource conservation. Emphasis should be given to reducing the amount of water used in a poultry processing plant. 3. Waste utilization. Waste materials from poultry and egg processing and from hatcheries need to be made into more usable and more valuable products.

Vast amounts of energy (electricity and gas) are used in the production of poultry meat and eggs. Producers are always looking for ways to reduce their energy costs. Extension programs can be instrumental in getting producers to adopt new technology and management practices that results in energy savings. Product Quality and Safety. The use of chemicals and drugs in agriculture presents the threat of possible accidental contamination. Extension must assist in developing monitoring programs for raw materials involved in the production of meat and eggs, and monitoring finished poultry products to ensure they are safe for human consumption. Extension programs should include products from small home type flocks, quail, pheasants, pigeons, and guineas. Animal Health. Disease losses resulting from biological, environmental, and management problems are costing the poultry industry large sums of money each year. Field cases of virus diseases such as Newcastle disease, Marek's disease, and infectious bronchitis are usually related to poor or inadequate vaccination program with a resulting breakdown in immunity. Health problems causing downgrading of poultry due to chronic respiratory disease, Marek's disease breast blisters, and bruises are a tremendous economic loss. Extension efforts should be involved in developing and encouraging the use of effective management programs for the prevention and control of disease. Waste Management. Waste management is becoming increasingly important as poultry production becomes more intensive and concentrated. Proper handling, storage, and disposal of poultry waste are key components of poultry pest control and poultry disease control. Also, poultry wastes have nutritional value for animals and plants when processed in the proper manner to reduce undesirable handling characteristics. Odors, flies, dust, and other problems associated with poultry farms are creating complaints, threats, and lawsuits against poultry farmers and their families. Each year, some poultry producers are forced out of business because they are not able or, in some cases, not willing to make necessary changes in the management system. Extension workers must intensify their efforts in helping poultry producers with their waste management problems. The educational programs should include manure handling and

educational programs could focus on are: feeding, watering, and floor space; proper beak trimming and dubbing techniques; forced molting programs; and lighting and ventilation programs. Other educational programs should provide better information to inform the general public about the production of eggs and poultry. Business Management and Marketing. Extension poultry programs are currently limited in management and marketing, but industry needs are many. Extension programs need to be expanded to make better use of what is already known to develop a more useful, inclusive management system. The objective should be the most profitable system, not individual components. Development of informational and data bases to utilize microcomputers to evaluate alternatives and aid in decision making should be concouraged and assisted in developing a comprehensive recordkeeping system for factual decisions. Egg marketing programs should stress the importance of getting an increased number of ovulated yolks to the consumer. This could be accomplished by reducing the eggs downgraded by improper storage and handling or by improving processes to reduce egg shell damage. Poultry marketing programs should 1) assist with new product development featuring items more suitable for the consumer with a small family and 2) develop better educational programs to inform the consumer of the newer methods and requirements for preparing and cooking poultry. Energy Conservation. New equipment and advances in existing technology in the area of egg and poultry processing have enabled many processing firms to reduce their costs. Extension's role should be to assist processors in adopting new ideas that would help make their operation more efficient. Areas of greatest economic importance are:

This year five manuscripts were evaluated b y the Committee. Topics were diverse as was the background of the Committee members; however, there was basic agreement on the best paper. Most members of the committee and several other people of the Association expressed concerns regarding evaluations. These may best be expressed in the following general statements. 1. Separate awards for oral presentation and a written manuscript are not practical when evaluating one piece of research; perhaps combining both aspects and using one committee to evaluate fewer students would be best. 2. Diversity of topics to be evaluated is frustrating for any one Committee member in that disciplines removed from familiarity are not given appropriate consideration. 3. Explicit weighing of research quality, writing ability, and pertinence of topic is needed. Attention to these issues is considered important to the effectiveness of next year's committee. Signed: E. T. Moran, Jr. Chairman

The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) has a new Executive Director effective June 1, 1983. He is Charles M. Chambers of Alexandria, Virginia. He was associated with the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation and was professor of administrative science at George Washington University. During the 1982—1983 year, your representative served on the AIBS Membership Committee and served as an ex officio member of the Board of Directors of the Council on Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) representing AIBS. At the November 1982 meeting of the AIBS Governing Board, new budgetary emphasis was placed on the work of the AIBS Public Responsibilities Department. Activity in this area was focused on animal welfare legislation and funding for scientific research in the biological sciences. Extensive information was provided to members of Congress and federal agencies on the need for more money for science education and biological research, protection of endangered species, preservation of clean water and air, and need for animals in scientific research. Bioscience continues to publish high quality reports of interest to biological sciences and is an important benefit of individual membership in AIBS. The AIBS Forum is published periodically to alert the membership- to important public interest issues. Participation by PSA in AIBS provides an avenue of representation and voice in the biological science arena at the national level.

ASSOCIATION NOTES

Signed: Donald J. Bray Newsletter Editor Report of Animal Care Committee The major activity of the chairperson of the committee during the past year was to participate in meetings of the Animal Welfare Coordinating Committee. This committee was originally brought together by the American Farm Bureau Federation. Currently representatives from about 24 animal agriculture organizations, 5 professional societies, and 2 from the US Department of Agriculture make up its membership. As a result of these meetings, legal counsel (Jackson, Jackson, and Wagner) was retained who are knowledgeable about agriculture and agribusiness and who specialize in dealing with activist organizations and crisis situations. Counsel analyzed the animal welfare/rights situation in relation to animal agriculture and concluded the ideal strategy is to rise above responding on this specific issue and shape a positive, pro-active campaign on behalf of animal agriculture, or all of agribusiness. If speciesism can be contained, such appealing topics as agriculture's economic and employment impact, its sensational productivity record, its potential as a weapon for peace, and other topics could begin winning public consent for food producers. This could be a rare and timely opportunity. They suggested a new nonprofit corporation, a coalition of all the animal agriculture organizations, be formed. This coalition, nonprofit group would have representatives from all the member organizations. Each member organization needs to contribute ideas, expertise, and money.

It was generally agreed that a new entity not be developed at this time. However, a finance committee and a planning and research committee were added. Jackson, Jackson, and Wagner are to develop a program for handling the issue. Some of the points that will be included are: 1. Data gathering. Attitude research study of farmers and agribusiness leaders concerning their knowledge of the issue. 2. Strategy planning. Development of scenarios, or "what if" situations, and agriculture's responses. 3. Activity planning. Goal setting and identification of short-term objectives. 4. Capability audit. Each organization will indicate who is available to do what. 5. State legislative watch. Monitoring of state legislatures to see what animal welfare/rights laws are being proposed. The objective of the plan is to be ready to respond to animal activists when needed. At the moment the problem is latent or developing. There is no crisis now. A public campaign at this time could benefit animal rightists more than agriculture. We who represent professional societies are largely advisory. It is not expected that we make a large financial contribution. However, if it does not violate our charter, a token contribution of $100 would indicate support for the committee. Signed: Keith I. Brown Chairperson

Report of the Representative to the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology In 1982-1983, the CAST Board of Directors broadened CAST efforts and undertook the publication of a new magazine, Science of Food and Agriculture, targetted to high school science teachers. High school science teachers were involved in establishing the format for this magazine. Two issues have been published covering such agriculturally related topics as: "A Misunderstood Food", "Water", "Pesticides and the Superpest Problem", and "Our Changing Climate." The magazine has had very good acceptance by high school science teachers, who report it to be an invaluable teaching aid. It will continue to emphasize various aspects of agricultural science and technology in a form that the teachers can use. Members of PSA can subscribe to the magazine by writing the CAST

that do or may impact professional poultry scientists as administrators, researchers, and educators. During the year a new section has been added to the letter in which dossiers of poultry scientists available for employment are briefed. Interested potential employers can obtain the dossiers from the PSA office upon request using a code number. We will be analyzing the usefulness and effectiveness of this membership service.

ASSOCIATION NOTES to the public welfare that is made by their individual branches of science, thereby justifying further public support. CAST is concerned with issues that impact on the broad field of poultry science as well as other fields, and members of the Poultry Science Association play a significant role in researching these issues. Your individual membership in CAST, as well as the society's membership, adds strength to an organization that contributes so significantly to the public welfare. Signed: W. F. Krueger Representative Report of the National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences Committee on Animal Nutrition At the spring meeting in March 1983 the members of Committee on Animal Nutrition expressed concern regarding the limited number of animal scientists on the Board of Agriculture of the National Research Council. The Committee on Animal Nutrition was pleased to receive a grant of $25,000 per year for 3 years from the American Feed Manufacturers Association. The preparation of the 8th revised edition of Nutrient Requirements of Poultry is well under way. The final draft should be submitted to NRC for review within the next few months. Of the 11,886 copies printed of the 7th edition only 1,300 remain. Other recent reports of the Committee on Animal Nutrition of interest to the members of Poultry Science include: Mineral Tolerance of Domestic Animals, 1980; Effect of Environment on Nutrient Requirements of Domestic Animals, 1981; Feeding Value of Ethanol Production By-Products, 1981; Nutritional Energetics of Domestic Animals and Glossary of Energy Terms, 1981; US-Canadian Tables of Feed Composition, 1982; and Selenium in Nutrition, Revised Edition, 1983. The Committee, at all of its meetings, reviews a wide variety of issues in agriculture of concern from the perspective of the Committee and on which the Committee may appropriately take some action. The Poultry Science Association may submit items for consideration to the Chairman or to any of the Committee members. Signed: B. E. March Chairman

The collaboration of the scientific societies in their joint endeavor in CAST has made it possible to address national issues in food and agriculture, which are predominantly multidisciplinary. Additionally, the collaboration of the societies in a unified way in CAST has made it possible to develop considerable funding to support CAST activities from sources other than the societies Each member contributes to CAST's progress, credibility, acceptance, and prestige. Membership in CAST is beneficial to member societies, whose individual members participate in CAST projects. As professionals, many individual members of scientific societies are of the opinion that their disciplines make a significant contribution to the national welfare, and they desire to have their expertise used in the public interest to make known the scientific background of national issues to which their disciplines are relevant. This probably is the principal reason that individuals support the membership of their respective societies in CAST. There also may be a certain amount of long-range selfinterest in bringing to the attention of decisonmakers and opionion-leaders the contribution
