H. Allen Tucker, Ph.D.

Professor, Joint with Department of Animal Science

Current research is directed toward in vivo and in vitro studies of noradrenergic, 5-hydroxytryptaminergic and dopaminergic regulation of secretion of growth hormone-releasing hormone, somatostatin and growth hormone in cattle. The impact of these hormones on body and mammary growth and on milk yield are also investigated.
