National Turkey Federation Research Award
National Turkey Federation Research Award Dr. Keith I. Brown, Associate Professor, Department of Poultry Science, The Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Wooster, was the recipient of the National Turkey Federation Research Award for 1964. The Award consists of SOO dollars and a plaque. During the past six years Dr. Brown has been author or co-author of 12 research papers in which the turkey has been the experimental animal. He also has to his credit a considerable number of reports at scientific and poultry industry meetings,
Federation
Animal Physiology and Endocrinology Award The Animal Physiology and Endocrinology Award of the American Society of Animal Science, sponsored by the American Cyanamid Company, for 1964 was awarded to Dr. Andrew V. Nalbandov of the University of Illinois. The following is quited from the Journal of Animal Science: "Dr. Andrew V. Nalbandov was born in Simferopol, Russia on July 4, 1912. He began his formal university education in Munich, Germany, and was granted the B.S. diploma for studies in the Biological Sciences in 1933. He received the M.S. degree with a major in nutrition from Oklahoma A and M College in 1936 and was awarded
the Ph.D. degree (genetics, zoology and physiology) by the University of Wisconsin in 1940. Subsequently he joined the staff of the Department of Animal Science of the University of Illinois as an instructor and advanced to the professorship in Animal Physiology in 1950. At present he has joint appointments in Animal Science, Physiology and Zoology. His 1963 sabbatical study program was devoted to further studies in the use of present-day techniques in endocrine research at the College de France Laboratorie de Morphologie Experimentale et Endocrinologie in Paris, France. He was named the 1959 Borden Gold Medal re-

and has published several popular articles. His contributions have been in the area of physiology involving photoperiodism in reproduction and semen physiology. Investigations in the latter field have included studies on spermatozoa concentration, electrolyte composition and freezing point depression of turkey seminal fluid, bacterial contaminants of semen and the use of antibiotics in their control, incidence of abnormal spermatozoa and their correlation with fertility, and the development of diluents for extending and storing turkey semen. Another area of accomplishment has been in stress and its implications in poultry production, including measurement of stress in turkeys using fluorescence techniques for estimation of plasma corticosterone. Dr. Brown was born in Hunter, Kansas, in 1925. He received a B.S. and a M.S. degree at Kansas State College in 1949 and 1950, respectively, and a Ph.D. degree at the University of Wisconsin, in 1936, majoring in zoology. From 1949 to 1950 he was Graduate Teaching Assistant at Kansas State College, and from 1950 to 1955, Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Wisconsin. In 1955 he joined the staff of Oklahoma State University as Instructor of Physiology, becoming Assistant Professor in 1956. In 1957 he was appointed Assistant Professor of Avian Physiology at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, becoming Associate Professor in 1962, and has been Acting Associate Chairman since last November. He is a member of the Poultry Science Association, World's Poultry Science Association, the American Society of Zoologists, the Ohio Academy of Science, Sigma Xi, Gamma Alpha and Phi Sigma.
