This updated version is current as of January 2006, and includes photos, contact info and main research areas for more than 50 faculty and staff members based either on campus or at county ISU Extension offices. The table of contents is organized by subject matter, which ranges from air and water quality to food safety to welfare.

IPIC director John Mabry said the updated list should be a useful tool for anyone interested in swine production, and encourages people to get acquainted with the names and faces in the list.

“We want everyone to be aware of the breadth of research pertaining to the pork industry being done here at Iowa State,” Mabry said. “Faculty from the colleges of Agriculture, Engineering, Human Sciences and Veterinary Medicine are involved in doing research, and they work with our Extension folks on getting those results out to clients who need and want that information.”
