Agriculture degree in Animal Health and Animal and Dairy Sciences, as well as his M.S. in Animal and Dairy Sciences from the University of Georgia.  He received his Ph.D. in Microbiology from Cornell University, with minors in Biochemistry and Animal Science.  Dr. Callaway is a Research Microbiologist for the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and has served as a Science Fellow for the Foreign Agriculture Service and the U.S. State Department.  He has adjunct faculty appointments in the Department of Agriculture at Angelo State University, the Animal and Dairy Sciences Department at Mississippi State University, and the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University. Dr. Callaway has a research program focused on manipulating the microbial ecology of the animal gastrointestinal tract to reduce populations of foodborne pathogenic bacteria in food animals before they enter the food chain.

received his B.S. degree in Animal Science and M.S. degree in Ruminant Nutrition from the University of Illinois and his Ph.D. degree from the University of Wisconsin with a co-major in Animal Science and Bacteriology. He is currently holder of the Donald “Buddy” Wray Endowed Chair in Food Safety and Director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Arkansas.  He is also a faculty member of the Department of Food Science, the Department of Poultry Science and the Cellular and Molecular Graduate program. Dr. Ricke’s research program is primarily focused on virulence and pathogenic characteristics of foodborne salmonellae.

In-depth analysis of the effectiveness of microbials and prebiotics in animals

Discusses the key processes during establishment of microflora in the gastrointestinal system

Resource on direct-fed microbials and prebiotics for animals

Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

The practice of supplementing direct fed microbial and prebiotic additives to domestic animals during growth is becoming more widespread in food animal production. Beneficial effects particularly in cattle, pigs and poultry including improved general health, foodborne pathogen reduction, more efficient food utilization, faster growth rate and increased milk and egg production continue to be reported. The success associated with direct fed microbial and prebiotic applications in multiple species ensures their continued commercialization and widespread use of such additives. However, several fundamental questions remain. It appears that early establishment and retention of an ecological balance in the gastrointestinal tract is an important first step for an external biological additive to be effective in young animals. Therefore, it is possible that the effectiveness of direct fed microbials and prebiotics in some animal species may only be an indirect consequence of speeding up the establishment of the dominant microflora characteristic of the adult gastrointestinal tract. Consequently an understanding of the key processes during establishment of microflora in the gastrointestinal system that lead to the subsequent fermentation characteristics and ecological balance exhibited by the highly protective microflora is needed. Identifying these processes in a bound volume should lead to continued improvement in the effectiveness of available commercial products. Several additional areas of future research directions are also likely needed for further development and implementation of these biologicals.
