Show 28 countries participate International feed meeting held The demand for food protein will increase in order to support improving living conditions for an estimated world population of seven billion people by the year 2000 G Lynn Romoser predicted here last week of the Monsanto the prediction made Company 300 scientists and some before 28 nations at the from producers First International Symposium Romoser Feed Composition Animal Nutrient Requirements and Computerization of Diets held at on USU last week Romoser pointed out that animal feeds provide the major intermediate in production of high quality human protein sources Much of the international event is focused on nutrient value of feeds from throughout the world and formulating diets for animals to obtain maximal production at least costs One of the principal speakers AJH van Es from the Institute for Livestock Feeding and Nutrition Research at Hoorn Netherlands noted that correct energy and just sufficient protein supply in the animal feed are considered most important in the feed formulation He said that computerized advisory systems are proving particularly valuable in feeding dairy cows in the Netherlands Harold Haendler of the University of Hohenheim Stuttgart Germany pointed out that with the development of computer technology a great demand exists for reliable information on feed composition To provide users with this kind of information special centers for feed data documentation have been established and are now cooperating on a worldwide basis k LE Harris and LC Kearl directors of the International Feedstuffs Institute Utah State University explained the history of the International Network of Feed Information Centers They noted that an essential prerequisite for the successful exchange of information has been getting agreement on a multilingual feed nomenclature on information coding data structure and computer programming : ' Logan Utah i Jr State University Vol 73 No 93

interferometer-a- n instrument used to measure wave lengths of light-duri- ng scientific meetings at Churchill College in England Tuesday Haycock is associate professor of mechanical engineering and

rocket-born- e that operate at instruments in space Doran Baker director of EDL says his staff is now assembling an interferometer to go into a rocket for launch this fall using Haycock’s gas lubricated slide assembly on which large scanning optics are mounted “This is a real technical breakthrough It permits our scientists at USU to see things no one has ever been able to see before” Baker said In developing the equipment Haycock found that necessary alloys were not available so he designed molds poured castings and accomplished the other machine work necessary to build it Haycock
