"The Alltech Young Scientist Program is an incredible venue for undergraduate and graduate students to involve themselves professionally in animal science on a global level."
The winners of the undergraduate and graduate Young Scientist Awards will be announced during Alltech's 25th International Animal Health and Nutrition Symposium May 17 - 20, 2009.
