Awards and Honors...
Dale E. Bauman, the Cornell University scientist who has pioneered the use of bovine growth hormone in boosting cows' milk yields and efficiency dramatically, is the 1985 recipient of the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Award.
Selected for making "the most significant contribution to American agriculture" during the past 5 years, Bauman received the award of $10,000, a medallion, and a certificate.
A professor of nutritional biochemistry in the Department of Animal Science in the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell, Bauman was cited "for his leadership in forging new directions in ruminant research, his innovative research in the regulation of nutrient utilization, which has led to remarkable increases in the efficiency of milk production through the use of exogenous bovine growth hormone, and the unprecedented impact this new technology will have on animal agriculture."
Bauman was presented the award at a special banquet attended by more than 150 of his associates, friends, and family on October 17 at the Ithaca Sheraton Inn.
