ARPAS will sponsor a symposium entitled “Nutrition Models—Where Are We Going In the Next Decade” at the 2010 ADSA-ASAS meetings held in July 2010 in Denver, Colorado. Dairy and beef models are used every day in the feed manufacturing industry, nutrition business, and research. Significant progress has been made with research in several of these areas since the NRC’s Nutrient Requirements for Beef Cattle (1996) and Nutrient Requirements for Dairy Cattle (2001) were released.

The ARPAS Distinguished Professional Animal Scientist award is bestowed annually on one or more emeritus members of ARPAS that have made significant contributions to the Animal Sciences during their active career and served in a leadership position within ARPAS.

The ARPAS Foundation now has assets of $40,000. The objective of the Foundation is to use the earnings from these assets to fund educational activities for current and prospective ARPAS members.
