In 2007, the DSM Nutrition Award was granted to Dr R. John Wallace, of the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland (UK), in recognition of his pioneering research in the field of animal nutrition. Dr Wallace is one of the world’s leading ruminant nutritionists and has published over 150 original scientific papers that have had a great impact on ruminant nutrition research. An international judging committee selected Dr Wallace from among ten candidates nominated for the award.
The award – which carries a cash prize of EUR 50,000 – was presented to Dr Wallace at the 58th Annual Meeting of the European Association for Animal Production in Dublin (IE) on August 28, 2007.
