Extract

It is indeed an honour to be asked to present the 1974 Sir John Hammond Memorial Lecture, and I face this honour with some trepidation knowing the high esteem held for Sir John and his outstanding contributions to world animal science. As most of you know, Sir John was somewhat of a one-man multi-disciplinary team himself, publishing and researching in the fields of animal breeding, reproductive physiology, meat science and animal nutrition. With the rapid and sometimes almost exponential increase in new findings in each of these areas, one person, even one of Sir John Hammond's stature, would now have great difficulty making significant contributions in the several scientific disciplines closely associated with animal production.
