Eagan, Minn., Feb. 4, 2000 .
. . Marcia Endres, Ph.D., has been promoted to senior animal nutritionist at Mycogen
Seeds. In the recently created position, Endres will act as an information resource on the
seed company’s nutritional products for ruminants.
Previously a nutrition research manager,
Endres will expand on her previous duties by supporting the continuing education of the
company’s agronomists, sales representatives and customers on ruminant nutrition and
forage use.
"As dairy and beef producers have become
more sophisticated in their production methods, their demand for more efficient forages
has become stronger," says Dan Johnson, Ph.D., Mycogen Seeds agronomy services
manager. "We’ve been a leader in providing the quality forage farmers demand and
in showing them how to get the most out of it. With her background in nutritional
research, Marcia will help us continue to do both."
After receiving her doctorate in veterinary
medicine in Brazil, Endres earned a master’s degree in beef nutrition from Iowa State
University, and a doctorate in dairy nutrition from the University of Minnesota.
Mycogen Seeds is a wholly owned subsidiary of
The Dow Chemical Company and is an affiliate of Dow AgroSciences. Mycogen markets grain
corn, silage corn and nutritionally enhanced corn seed, as well as sunflower, canola,
soybean, alfalfa and sorghum seed through a distribution system of sales representatives,
distributors and retail outlets in the Corn Belt, the eastern United States and in major
dairy areas throughout the country.
