Dr. Elisabeth Huff-Lonergan is an ASAS Fellow who demonstrates service to the companion animal industry through her innovation in teaching and research. Her work to develop a 'one of a kind' undergraduate class introduces students to the pet food industry and provides students exposure to careers they would likely not have been aware of. The class, titled 'Food Processing for Companion Animals,' has been taught to juniors and seniors in Animal Science for over ten years. Additionally, the course is a core class in a new Feed Technology minor at Iowa State. Agricultural and biosystems engineering and animal science students are entering the field through that minor. Her research teams have advanced the understanding of how protein oxidation in raw materials influences nutrient quality and digestibility in pet foods.
