He received a B.S. degree in animal husbandry and a Master&#39;s degree in animal production from Utah State University. This background, combined with his Ph.D. work in animal breeding and physiology from Oklahoma State University, provided much depth to his knowledge of livestock production. He has had practical production experience with beef cattle, dairy cattle, horses, poultry, sheep, and swine. </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Dr. Taylor received teaching awards at Iowa State University (where he also managed a swine herd) and at Colorado State University. He also received the Distinguished Teaching Award from the American Society of Animal Science in recognition of his ability to organize and present materials to students. Many of his concepts for effective teaching are used in this book. Dr. Taylor passed away in 1998. </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> <B> <I>Thomas G.
