Ralco Nutrition Inc., has appointed Dr. Marnie Mellencamp as Director of

Mellencamp brings with her decades of experience and study of immunology,
molecular genetics, livestock health and production. She holds a B.S. in
Microbiology from Ohio State University. Mellencamp earned a Master of Science
Degree in Microbiology from Miami University. She later earned her Ph.D. in
Immunology from Miami University. She then continued with a post-doctoral

High quality research
At Ralco Nutrition, Inc.,
Mellencamp will be extensively involved in high-quality research and development
of products and combinations of products that improve the welfare and
productivity of livestock. Because Mellencamp is not a nutritionist, she sheds a
unique perspective on the animal nutrition industry. "Health is a critical
component for every production system, large and small," Mellencamp said.
"Optimum animal health is a welfare issue, but it is also the key to
profitability."
