Ipharraguerre Receives Hubbard Feeds, Inc Graduate Award for Dairy

Ignacio R. Ipharraguerre was honored with the 2001 Hubbard Feeds, Inc. Graduate Award for Dairy at the American Society of Animal Science Awards ceremony in Indianapolis on Friday, July 27. This award recognizes students demonstrating outstanding potential in the research of nutritional sciences of food animals, specifically in the areas of beef, dairy, swine and poultry production.

A native of Argentina, Ipharraguerre holds a B.S. degree with honors from the Universidad of Buenos Aires, where he received the Agronomic Academic Excellence Award by the University and Dow Elanco of Argentina for his research on nutrient supplementation to dairy cows grazing pasture. He is currently working on his M.S. at the University of Illinois under the supervision of Dr. Jimmy Clark and is investigating the maximum amount of concentrate that can be replaced with soyhulls in dairy cows diet. He will continue at Illinois for his Ph.D. concentrating on the amount and proportion of ruminally degradable and undegradable protein required by dairy cows.
