producers who agree to take
part in the program have the
proper deductions - made
right at the'inarket - which

, packer, or butcher. It is also
possible for the producer to
take the program entirely
Into his own -hands by
periodically sending a check
to'the NPPC which would
represent the proper amount
of deductions.
- If a producer is not willing
to take part in .the program,
yet a deduction was made,
he may apply for a refund,
Henkel explained. He is on
the local board and would'
welcome ' questions from
other producers.
One of the research
programs on hogs with
which he is directly involved
concerns swine diseases.
Many of his pigs are
- marketed atfive to six weeks
of age for veterinary
research. The final propose
is to help find cures for
rhinitis and' mycoplasma
pneumonia, Henkel
estimates''that between 60
and 65 percent of the U.S.
hog population is affected by
one or even both of these
diseases. Although neither of
these production com
plications have an effect on
consumption qualities of
pork, they are of concern and
exemplify one more area
where the check-off program
is being put to work.
award cited him for studies
in the physiology of
reproduction. He was
honored for significant
contributions to the rapid
and successful advancement
of artificial insemination and
the resulting improvement
of dairy cattle.
International recognition
for'achievements-was given
the Pehn State dairy
scientist in 1972. This time he
received the research award
of the Italian Society for
Progress in Animal
Heporduction during
ceremonies at (he Italian
Embassy in Washington,
D.C. Almquist has described
bis studies of sexual
behavior ' and semen
production of hulls at three
international Congresses of
Animal Reproduction since
1956.
Jfis most recent national
honors came in 1974 when he
won the Animal Physiology
.and Endocrinology Award of
' the American Society of
Animal Science.
Almquist was the first
scientist to demonstrate the
value of adding penicillin
and streptomycin to diluted
bull semen to control bac
terial growth and to increase
fertility. As a result, an
tibiotics are used universally
by the artificial breeding
industry. Such use of an
tibiotics has produced a
increase in
breeding efficiency in the
United States as well as in
other countries.
He has been in charge of
the Dairy Breeding
Research Center at
University Park since the
Center was opened in 1949.
