College of Veterinary MediCine CoMMenCeMent Speaker
Dr. W. Eugene Lloyd
Dr. W. Eugene Lloyd ('49 DVM, '70
PhD) has a connection with Iowa State
University and the College of Veterinary
Medicine that goes
back nearly 60 years.
That relationship has
grown even stronger
during the past 15
years for Gene and
his wife, Linda, and
they have become one
of Iowa State's most
supportive couples.
Gene attended Iowa State after serving in the
U.S. Navy from 1944 to 1946. After earning his
DVM, he was in private veterinary practice until
1958, when he established VET-A-MIX/Lloyd
Laboratories in Shenandoah, Iowa, near his
hometown of Red Oak. Today, the company is
Lloyd, Inc., which has become a highly successful
developer and manufacturer of pharmaceutical
and nutritional products for animals and
humans, and has received the small business
administration's U.S. Exporter of the Year award.
Gene is chairman and CEO, and Linda is the
quality assurance assistant.
After starting the company, Gene attended
graduate school at Iowa State part-time over the
next several years, earning a PhD. He joined the
faculty at Iowa State in 1974 as a professor of pathology
and was in charge of veterinary toxicology.
He remained in that position until 1984.

The Lloyds are the lead donors in the expansion
and renovation of the veterinary teaching hospital,
the largest facility project since the College of
Veterinary Medicine facility was constructed in
the mid-1970s. When completed, the facility will
be named in the Lloyds' honor. That gift is one
of many they have provided to Iowa State and
the College of Veterinary Medicine, as they also
established the W. Eugene and Linda R. Lloyd
Endowed Professorship in Veterinary Medicine
and the Lloyd Fund for Veterinary Medicine.
Gene serves as an ISU Foundation Governor. The
Lloyds are members of the Order of the Knoll
President's Circle and have served on two capital
campaign committees. Gene has served on the
ISU Research Foundation board and College of
Veterinary Medicine Dean's Advisory Committee.
He received the Outstanding Service Award from
the American Board of Veterinary Toxicology,
was cited by the Iowa Farm Bureau in its 150th
anniversary program, "Iowans Who Made a Difference,"
and was cited as one of 28 leaders in
Veterinary Medicine in the United States during
the mid-20th century. He and Linda are active
in several community organizations and have
received numerous awards for their service.
The Lloyds now live in Ft. Myers, Florida. Gene
has one son, Thomas, who with his wife, Carol,
has two children, Max and Allison.
