Roland M. Leach, professor
of poultry science at Penn
State, has received the
American Feed Manufac
turers’ Association Award of
$lOOO for achievements in
research into poultry
nutrition.
A top national award for
poultry research, the
selection was announced at
the 69th annual meeting of
the Poultry Science
Association held recently at
Purdue University,
Layfayette, Ind.
The thrust of Leach’s
research has centered on
three areas - mechanisms of
egg shell formation, trace
elements and the food chain.

Receives poultry research grant
and leg weakness in turkeys
and broiler chickens.
“Research by Leach has
contributed in a major
fashion to an increased
understanding of leg
weakness in broilers and
thin egg shells among laying
hens-both major problems of
the poultry industry,” stated
Kenneth Goodwin, head of
the Department of Poultry
Science in Penn State.
Under Leach’s direction,
studies of egg shell for
mation have examined early
events in shell formation and
properties of shell gland
fluid. A major contribution
of his laboratory was to
define the role of copper in
shell membrane formation.
This led to a better un-

derstanding of the chemistry
of shell membrame protein.
Leach and his students
have studied the relationship
between cadmium and
nickel content of the diet and
the mineral content of meat
and eggs.
They also have in
vestigated copper
metabolism in sheep, since
these animals are extremely
sensitive to increases in the
copper content of plant
materials and thus serve as
indicators of toxic levels.
The research analyzed the
toxic metal content of
animal tissues used as
human food.
Extensive studies by
Leach and associates have
contributed to an un
derstanding of leg
weaknesses in broiler
chickens and turkeys.
Research focused on the
biochemical changes
associated with leg ab
normalities known as
perosis and tibial
dyschondroplasia. The latter
malady was first observed
Delmarva poultry
meeting sets record
DELMAR, Md. The Jsth
National Meeting on Poultry
Health and Condemnations,
held at the Del-Mar-Va
and described by Leach.
Throughout his career, his
primary research interest
has been in the role of trace
elements in bone and car
tilage metabolism. He is the
author or co-author of 55
scientific articles.
Well recognized among his
peers, he has been invited to
participate in several
symposia dealing with
research in trace elements
and mineral metabolism.
In addition to his scientific
papers, Dr. Leach has
presented a number of
papers to industry groups,
summarizing the State of
knowledge in his areas of
interest. He also serves as a
consultant to poultry ufr
dustry leaders.
Leach is a graduate of the
University of Maine. He
received a master’s degree
in nutrition from Purdue
University and the doctor of
philosophy degree in
nutrition from Cornell
University. He has been a
faculty member at Penn
State since 1968.
Convention Hall in Delmar,
Md. last week, was attended
by a record number of 451
people who came from 29
states, the District of
Columbia and three foreign
countries.
This was 21 more than the
previous high record at
tendance which was posted
last year.
This national meeting was
sponsored by Delmarva
Poultry Industry, Inc., the
regional trade association
which is the voice of the
area’s huge broiler industry,
in cooperation with the
Universities of Delaware
and Maryland.
The program featured 37
participants who covered
numerous topics concerned
with disease and con
demnation problems m the
«grow-out and processing
phases of the poultry in
dustry.
Paul V. Twining, Jr., DPI
president, and G. Thomas
Holder, chairman of the DPI
Poultry Health Committee
and general chairman of the
conference, both commented
that this event is considered
the leading meeting of its
kind, which is borne out by
the increasing attendance
each year.
