Dr. Wayne Greene is a professor and head of the department of animal sciences at Auburn University, and is considered one of the foremost authorities on animal nutrition in the United States.
Greene previously held a professorship in animal sciences in the Texas A & M University System, during which he taught graduate students at Texas A & M, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station and Texas Cooperative Extension.
In 2003, Greene was named the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station Faculty Fellow and the Texas A & M University System Board of Regents Faculty Fellow, the highest faculty award given in the Texas A & M University System, for his achievements in mineral nutrition of stocker and feedlot cattle and environmental nutrition.
Greene's primary research discipline is in the area of ruminant nutrition. His research focuses primarily on beef cattle nutrition, specifically emphasizing nutrient utilization and metabolism. Through his research, Greene has identified methods to offset phosphorus and nitrogen in concentrated cattle feeding operations, to reduce loss of nutrients, and to increase positive mineral-mineral and mineral-feed interactions. Greene developed a grazing program for cattle that consists of small grain forages in the winter and brown mid-rib forage sorghum varieties in the summer.
Greene has authored or co-authored over 500 publications including: 78 refereed journal manuscripts, 222 research abstracts, 114 experimental station publications and 70 symposia presentations.
He is the President-Elect for the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists, and holds professional affiliations with the following organizations: the American Society of Animal Science; Alpha Zeta, an agricultural fraternity; Gamma Sigma Delta, the Honor Society of Agriculture; and Sigma Xi, a scientific research society.
Greene holds a Ph.D. in animal nutrition from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), and bachelor's and master's degrees in animal science from North Carolina State University.
