Contributing authors 527Friederike Hippenstiel finished her studies in Agricultural Science with a major in animal nutrition at the Faculty ofAgriculture, University of Bonn, Germany, in 2009 <strong>and</strong> is currently working on her doctoral degree. Her research interestsfocus on nutrition of dairy <strong>co</strong>ws, greenhouse g<strong>as</strong> emissions <strong>and</strong> <strong>feed</strong>stuff evaluation for ruminants <strong>and</strong> horses.Kenneth F. Kalscheur is an Associate Professor of Dairy Science at South Dakota State University, USA. He received hisPhD degree in Animal Science from the University of Maryl<strong>and</strong>, specializing in dairy cattle nutrition. His current appointmentat South Dakota State University involves teaching dairy science <strong>co</strong>urses <strong>and</strong> <strong>co</strong>nducting research on dairy cattle nutrition<strong>and</strong> management. His research interests include utilization of biofuel <strong>co</strong>-<strong>products</strong> in dairy cattle diets, protein digestion <strong>and</strong>utilization by dairy cattle, bio-hydrogenation of fats in the rumen, <strong>and</strong> the environmental impact of animal management<strong>and</strong> <strong>feed</strong>ing practices in dairy production systems. He h<strong>as</strong> <strong>co</strong>nsulted for private <strong>and</strong> public organizations in Canada, Japan,Mexi<strong>co</strong>, Republic of Korea <strong>and</strong> USA. He h<strong>as</strong> authored many publications over the p<strong>as</strong>t 10 years on the use of biofuel <strong>co</strong><strong>products</strong>in dairy cattle diets.D.N. Kamra, a Fellow of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, is the Director, Centre of Advanced FacultyTraining in Animal Nutrition at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI), Izatnagar, India. He h<strong>as</strong> 33 years of research<strong>and</strong> teaching experience in the area of animal nutrition <strong>and</strong> h<strong>as</strong> published more than 120 research papers <strong>and</strong> authoredfive books on animal nutrition <strong>and</strong> rumen microbiology. Dr Kamra h<strong>as</strong> v<strong>as</strong>t experience of working in nutritional <strong>as</strong>pects ofthe microbes inhabiting the rumen of wild <strong>and</strong> domesticated animals. In addition, he h<strong>as</strong> been instrumental in designing<strong>feed</strong> additives b<strong>as</strong>ed on probiotics for improvement of <strong>feed</strong> utilization <strong>and</strong> plant se<strong>co</strong>ndary metabolites for inhibition ofmethane emission by ruminants. In re<strong>co</strong>gnition of his scientific work <strong>and</strong> academic performance, he h<strong>as</strong> been awarded theRafi Ahmed Kidwai Award, Bharat Ratna Dr C. Subramaniam Award for Outst<strong>and</strong>ing Teacher of ICAR, Fellowship of theNational Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), Re<strong>co</strong>gnition Award of NAAS, <strong>and</strong> Best Teacher Award <strong>and</strong> Award ofMerit of IVRI. He h<strong>as</strong> guided eight PhD <strong>and</strong> three MVSc students for their research. Two of his PhD students have been honouredwith the Jawaharlal Nehru Award <strong>and</strong> one of them h<strong>as</strong> received the Dr N.D. Kehar Award for outst<strong>and</strong>ing researchleading to a PhD under his guidance.Brian Kerr is Research Leader/Lead Scientist for the USDA-ARS swine research unit in Ames, Iowa, USA. He received hisBS, MS <strong>and</strong> PhD from the University of Illinois. Since 2001, Dr Kerr’s research activities at USDA-ARS have involved underst<strong>and</strong>ingthe utilization of nutrients (mainly carbon, nitrogen <strong>and</strong> sulphur) in non-ruminants in an effort to reduce the lossof these nutrients into the environment, including odour <strong>and</strong> g<strong>as</strong> emissions. He is actively involved in evaluating biofuel<strong>co</strong>-<strong>products</strong> (maize <strong>co</strong>-<strong>products</strong> <strong>and</strong> crude glycerin), enzymes (carbohydr<strong>as</strong>es <strong>and</strong> phyt<strong>as</strong>es) <strong>and</strong> lipids (type <strong>and</strong> quality) inan effort to improve nutrient utilization efficiency <strong>and</strong> reduce <strong>feed</strong> <strong>co</strong>sts for lean deposition. Dr Kerr is a reviewer for severalscientific journals <strong>and</strong> is a <strong>co</strong>mmittee member for revising the Nutrient Requirements of Swine. Dr Kerr h<strong>as</strong> authored or<strong>co</strong>-authored 84 scientific publications <strong>and</strong> h<strong>as</strong> been an invited speaker at 14 national <strong>and</strong> 6 international <strong>co</strong>nferences.Terry J. Klopfenstein is a Professor in the Animal Science Department, focusing on ruminant nutrition at the University ofNebr<strong>as</strong>ka-Lin<strong>co</strong>ln, USA. He earned a PhD in ruminant nutrition from Ohio State University in 1965. His research interestsare beef production systems, forage utilization, protein nutrition <strong>and</strong> <strong>co</strong>-product utilization.Vik<strong>as</strong> Kumar is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Laboratory for E<strong>co</strong>physiology, Biochemistry <strong>and</strong> Toxi<strong>co</strong>logy,Department of Biology, University of Antwerp, Belgium. He h<strong>as</strong> <strong>co</strong>mpleted a MFSc (M<strong>as</strong>ter in Fisheries Science) from CIFE,Mumbai, India, being awarded the Dr Hiralal Chaudhary Gold Medal for st<strong>and</strong>ing first in the M<strong>as</strong>ter programme. He is arecipient of the Dr N.R. Menon best Post-Graduate Thesis (MFSc – Indian category) Award for 2007 from Professional FisheriesGraduates Forum (PFGF), Mumbai, India, for outst<strong>and</strong>ing work in his M<strong>as</strong>ter’s research. He h<strong>as</strong> recently <strong>co</strong>mpleted a PhD fromUniversity of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany. He h<strong>as</strong> also been awarded the Dr V.G. Jhingran Best Post-Graduate Overse<strong>as</strong>Thesis (PhD – Overse<strong>as</strong> category) Award for the year 2011 <strong>and</strong> the Dr T.V.R. Pillay <strong>and</strong> Dr M.V. Gupta Best Overse<strong>as</strong> FisheriesScientist Award 2011 from PFGF, India. His M<strong>as</strong>ter <strong>and</strong> PhD in Fish Nutrition, Biochemistry <strong>and</strong> Physiology mainly focused onutilization of alternative protein source in aqua<strong>feed</strong> <strong>and</strong> the effects on growth <strong>and</strong> health of fish <strong>and</strong> shrimp. He h<strong>as</strong> sevenyears of research experience in the area of fish nutrition, physiology <strong>and</strong> nutritional biochemistry. He h<strong>as</strong> published 35 research<strong>and</strong> review papers <strong>and</strong> many scientific popular articles. His specialization includes <strong>feed</strong> formulation with alternative <strong>feed</strong>stuffsin aqua<strong>feed</strong>s; bio-energetics; <strong>and</strong> haem-immuno logical techniques.
