    KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Phillip Myer, an associate professor in the Department of Animal Science at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, has been awarded the Outstanding Early Career Animal Scientist Award in Research by the American Society of Animal Science (ASAS).

He helped create the web site rumenmicrobes.utk.edu, where anyone can learn about the science of microorganisms and animal nutrition.

    Myer received his B.S. in Biology from Bradley University in 2008 and his Ph.D. in Microbiology in 2013 from Purdue University. As a postdoctoral researcher, he worked at the USDA-ARS-US Meat Animal Research Center from 2013-2015 researching gut microbiome impacts on nutrition and feed efficiency in finishing beef steers. Myer has secured over of $2 million in extramural support and has over 170 publications, including 48 refereed journal articles, two books/chapters, and 74 abstracts. He has advised nine M.S. and three Ph.D. students, four international interns, and three visiting scholars.

    ASAS fosters the discovery, sharing and application of scientific knowledge concerning the care and responsible use of animals to enhance animal and human health and well-being.
