My research interests have centred on livestock production systems principally in developed countries, but with significant involvement of researchers from developing countries, some of whom have focused on problems in the developing regions. My early work focused on grazing systems for cattle and sheep. This developed into the risks to human and animal health and the environment posed by heavy metal contamination, with a focus on accumulation in livestock.

Sergio M Pellis received his PhD in animal behavior/ethology in 1980 from Monash University, Australia. He spent 1982-1990 at the University of Illinois, Tel Aviv University and University of Florida where he received post-doctoral training in behavioral neuroscience and movement analysis. In 1990, he joined the University of Lethbridge, where he is a professor of animal behavior and neuroscience. A central focus of Sergio research is on the evolution, development and neurobiology of play behavior.

During my 31+ years at Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine (training veterinary students) and College of Forest Resources (mostly training wildlife biologists, re: wildlife and human health issues), I feel compelled to share my expertise in veterinary higher education as a means to rural development both globally and within the U.S. In much of the developing world, domesticated animals are ones' "bank account" and, human-wildlife interactions can serve as a significant income generator in many regions of the globe. But, not without risks. A couple of my favorite quotes are: 1. "aspire to inspire before you expire", 2. "Do what you love for people who love what you do."

Dr. Greg Fraley joined the Animal Sciences Faculty in January as the Terry and Sandra Tucker Family Endowed Chair of Poultry Science. He is originally from Baltimore City, Maryland, USA and eventually moved to Baltimore County where he enjoyed many years working on beef farms and raising poultry. Dr. Fraley began his education as an Animal Science major at the University of Maryland, College Park. He began his research interests as an undergrad when he studied avian Neuro anatomy and physiology in the Kuenzel lab in the Poultry Science Department. Dr. Fraley remained in that lab for his MS in Avian Physiology where he studied the Neuro endocrine mechanisms that underlie the onset of puberty in broilers. During this early research, he also learned of the overlapping neural mechanisms that govern reproduction with those that control feeding.
