Education
- B.S., Animal Science, University of California, Davis,
1994.
- M.S., Animal Science, University of California, Davis,
1996.
- Ph.D., Physiology, University of California, Davis, in
progress.
Profile
- Chris completed a M.S. degree in the Department of Animal Science
in 1996 and is continuing his graduate studies as a member of the
Physiology Graduate Group.
Chris examined the effectiveness of the immunocastration
technology in beef bulls and demonstrated that an immunization
protocol involving 2 injections (at 1 and 12 months of age) markedly
reduced testicular development and testosterone secretion.
Significantly, Chris also demonstrated that the aggressive behavior
of bulls was dramatically reduced by immunization.
Chris's work indicates that the immunocastration technology is a
practical, effective, and non-invasive alternative to physical
castration in the management of beef cattle.
