He teaches undergraduates and graduates courses in the areas of nutrition and management (Introductory Animal Nutrition, Applied Animal Nutrition, Dairy Production, Advance Nutrition) and international animal production (Case Studies in International Animal Production). Actively involved with undergraduate and graduate students completing international internships and research projects.

He has a B.Sc. in Dairy Processing from Brigham Young University, an M.S. in Food Science and Technology, and a Ph.D. in Ruminant Nutrition both from Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA. Postdoctorate (Regional Forage Project) with the Animal Science Department at University of Hawaii-Monoa Campus, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.

Recent research emphasis has been in the area of dairy nutrition and management. Previous research emphasis has been directed towards development of by-product feeds (single cell protein, feather meal, pineapple plant residue, etc.), utilisation of crop residues in livestock feeding programs, and supplementation programs to enhance low quality forage.

Fulbright Scholar to Hungary in1991 associated with the University of Veterinary Sciences, Budapest, Hungary and the Agricultural University in Godollo, Hungary.

He is the co-author of the textbook "Livestock Feeds and Feeding" (R.O. Kellems and D.C. Church), which is widely used as a textbook for Applied Animal Nutrition and Livestock Feeding courses in the USA and other countries.

Dr. Kellems will be working with the Feed Resource Group on the Animal Feed Resources Information System.

His work in FAO when finished will be posted on this page in December 2000.

Dr Wang conducts research on ruminant nutrition and feed resources. He has been involved in three national projects on the nutrient requirements of ruminants in China, the investigation and evaluation of local feed resources in China and the improvement of the feeding value of crop residues through physical and chemical treatments. He is also involved in teaching and extension and is the senior teacher in the Graduate School in Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and supervises MSc students in animal nutrition. He also does technical extension work with the Ministry of Agriculture. He took part in the FAO-TCP and UNDP project on straw utilization in China.

He has a BSc in Animal Production from Anhui Agricultural Teaching College, Anhui province, an MSc in Feed Science from Northwest Agricultural University, Shanxi province, and a PhD in Animal Nutrition from China Agricultural University, Beijing.

In 1994-5, he held a postdoctoral position at the Rowett Research Institute, Aberdeen, provided by an EU fellowship. In 1997, he was a visiting scientist at the INRA Ruminant Nutrition Laboratory, Theix.

He is a member of the China national feed evaluation committee, deputy general secretary of the Chinese cattle science committee and a member of the science and technology committee of the Animal Production Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Since 1996 he has been the principal adviser on animal production policy in the Ministry of Agriculture. His responsibility is to provide suggestions for the development of science and technology and to write draft development plans.

He has recently been appointed Deputy Director of the key Nutrition and Food Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture which is responsible for food and feed safety.

Dr Wang will be working with the Feed Resources Group on the Animal Feed Resources Information System.
