FAI Report, in Full Food Animal Initiative Economic Development Study Prepared By: NC State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and College of Veterinary Medicine February 2020 Dean Richard Linton Dean Paul Lunn College of Agriculture and Life Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine Campus Box 7601 1060 William Moore Drive Raleigh, NC 27695-7601 Raleigh, NC 27607 P:919.515.2668 P: 919.513.6210 February 2020 Please find attached to this letter a report entitled The North Carolina Food Animal Initiative: A Feasibility Study. This report was jointly commissioned by NC State’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Veterinary Medicine to evaluate core competencies in the animal and poultry sciences, veterinary medicine and associated disciplines, and to study the feasibility of building upon our capabilities by establishing a Food Animal Initiative (FAI). The N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative at NC State provides the FAI a public-private partnership model it could emulate as a means to enhance the university’s historical areas of strength, address gaps in capacity and proficiency, and drive bold ideas and innovation to support and accelerate the state’s largest agricultural sector - animal agriculture. This report will be the springboard for NC State to develop an interdisciplinary, multi-college initiative that will help cultivate scientific breakthroughs and produce well-trained future employees to meet the needs of North Carolina’s livestock, poultry sectors, and allied industries. It is our hope that this report provides a path forward for North Carolina to grow its number one industry. If you have questions and suggestions related to this report, please direct them to either one of us or to Celeste Brogdon at [email protected]. Sincerely, Richard H. Linton, Ph.D., Dean D.

    STATION BuurIN 414 DECEMBER 1942 BUTTER MAKING During Hay Feeding Season "50-45-40" iWeihad Oregon State System of Higher Education Agricultural Experiment Station Oregon State College Corvallis FOREWORD Another marketing problem of importance to Oregon dairymencrumbly,sticky,hard butterhas beensolved. These defects are characteristic of butter produced in the re- 1 gions of Oregon largely dependent upon hay as the main ration during the fall and winter months. The defects appear in but- ter early in October and disappear with the coming of grass, and may result in a discount of as much as 1 cent a pound. -The consumer objects to such butter because it is hard and crumbles and rolls under the knife. Because of its importance to the butter industry, the Ore- j gon Dairymen's Association and the Oregon Dairy Manufac- turers' Association both presented to the Oregon Legislature 6 years ago the need for research to develop remedial measures. Funds were appropriated, and this bulletin contains the final results of this particular phase of the butter manufacturing studies by the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station. The investigation included a study of the chemical and physical properties of the milk fat produced in typical irrigated alfalfa producing areas of eastern and southern Oregon and in other parts of the state. A report of this particular phase of the study has already been made. On the basis of the experimental results obtained, a satis- factory method of butter manufacture has been developed. For convenience this has been designated the "50-45-40" method. If the recommended procedure is carefully followed, this method, which has been tested under large-scale commercial conditions _i.
