Spring 2019 Commencement
The process of feeding tree nuts to pigs is a more common practice in Spain and Portugal where they produce world-famous Iberian ham, and Professor Bryon Wiegand wanted to see what difference, if any, the diet would produce compared to a traditional diet fed in the United States. Katelyn Burdick liked the project idea, which included an added bonus. In addition to the research, Burdick would serve as the coach for the University of Missouri meat judging team.

For years, the Thompson Research Center, near Spickard, Mo., has been home to a very defined breeding plan for its straight bred, commercial angus cattle herd. That plan contains a variety of objectives, including reproductive and genetic goals. With the strong success of that plan, a team from the University of Missouri Division of Animal Sciences is looking to expand and bring cattle breeding plans to several more MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources’ Agricultural Research Centers.
