He received the award during the American Society of Animal Science Annual Meeting in Saint Louis. Over the past 10 years, Caton’s ruminant nutrition research program has focused on applied and mechanistic aspects of forage utilization, supplementation and digestive physiology, interactions between nutrition and pregnancy and selenium metabolism. Caton and his colleagues have published 283 refereed articles, proceedings, abstracts and reports. In addition, Caton and collaborators have received over $3.3 million in grant funds. As a component of his research program, he has advised 26 graduate students and four postdoctoral fellows.
