Ian Gordon (1928-2021): a true pioneer in the area of farm animal reproduction

Ian Gordon, professor of animal husbandry at UCD, passed away on 5 July 2021. Professor of animal husbandry at University College Dublin (UCD) Ian Gordon was a true pioneer in the area of farm animal reproduction, particularly in the area of oestrous synchronisation in sheep and cattle, superovulation and non-surgical embryo transfer and, latterly, in the area of in-vitro embryo production in cattle. In recognition of his contributions, he received the prestigious pioneer award from both the Association of Embryo Technology in Europe (AETE), in 1995, and the International Embryo Technology Society (IETS), in 1998. Professor Gordon, or Prof as he was affectionately known, was an excellent teacher, who captivated his students with his encyclopaedic knowledge of the literature. In addition he supervised approximately 80 fulltime postgraduate research students (masters and PhD) at UCD’s Lyons Research Farm.

Tracking Companion Animal Disease

Pets get ill. Sometimes, outbreaks of pet illnesses occur but there is no Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for pet diseases. Owners decide whether to get their pets tested, and in most countries, there is no mechanism for veterinarians to formally notify one another nor a state body that tracks disease trends.   Moreover, surveillance of pets for new viruses or new variants is not routine. Veterinary scientists in the UK and the US are trying to change that with twin initiatives aimed at monitoring pet populations for outbreaks. Their aim is to alert vets about new microbial threats to animals, but some infectious disease researchers say such monitoring might one day also serve as early warning systems, detecting pathogens that threaten to spill over into people.
