Andrew James (Jim) Peterson: A tribute to a far-reaching scientific career in reproductive biology effects and interactions.
Proceedings of the New Zealand Society of Animal Production 70: 319-331
The following is an extraordinary New Zealand Society of Animal Production publication summarising papers presented in March 2010 at a colloquium in honour of Dr. A.J. (Jim) Peterson (1945 - 2009), who worked as a scientist at AgResearch Ruakura, Hamilton. It is a unique collection that provides both a testament to his long involvement with the Society and also a "whistle-stop tour" through pioneering and groundbreaking work that has contributed to increased understanding of reproduction and the development of tools, such as oestrus synchronisation and calving induction protocols, that are now widely in use in the New Zealand and international dairy industry.
I would like to sincerely thank the authors for their contributions and for allowing us to print them here, to enable the information contained within to benefit a wider readership. True to form, there are also hints and suggestions for current researchers to think about, something that Jim would have wholeheartedly supported!
Truly- we stand on the shoulders of giants.
