  Jay Lush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jay Lawrence Lush (January 3, 1896 - 1982) was a pioneering animal genetist who made important contributions to livestock breeding.
Lush received National Medal of Science in 1968.
Lush advocated breeding not based on subjective appearance of the animal, but on quantitative statistics and genetic information.

 ISU AnSci - Archives, J L Lush, Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Dr. Jay L. Lush is referred to as the father of modern animal breeding and genetics.
Lush was born in Shambaugh, Iowa, in 1896, received the M.S. degree from Kansas State College in 1916 working with E. Wentworth and, after 9 months in the army air force, went to the University of Wisconsin and graduated under L. Cole with his Ph.D. in 1922.
Lush came to Iowa State in 1930, was made a distinguished professor of agriculture in 1958, and retired in 1966 but remained active working on his book until his death in 1982.

 Animal Science at Iowa State - Archives, Jay Laurence Lush   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Lush: "I think she is the person who has been the secret catalyst [who] has sparked Dr. Lush onto the accomplishments he has made." To this tribute should be added how important a role she has taken as a gracious hostess and "foster mother" to countless students.
Lush undertook studies using records collected on swine, dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, goats, poultry and honeybees.
Lush was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1967, to membership in the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and to membership in the Academies of Science or Agriculture of Sweden, Norway, and Italy.

 Jay Lush on kin and group selection, 1948   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Lush was the major figure in adapting the quantitative genetics of Fisher and Wright to animal breeding; his Animal Breeding Plans, first published in 1937, was the bible of a generation of quantitative-genetics-oriented animal breeders.
It is likely that Lush's failure to publish was because he was intimidated by the arrival in his university of the opinionated and outspoken Oscar Kempthorne, who insisted on a standard of mathematical rigor that Lush was unaccustomed to.
It becomes less surprising that Lush had this insight so early, when one considers that he wrote the pioneering papers on family selection in quantitative genetics, and was quite concerned with the effectiveness of selection of individuals based on measurements of their relatives.

If Jay L. Lush were alive today, he'd be amazed at the changes that have occurred in the area of animal breeding research.
Lush came to Iowa State University in 1930 and is generally recognized as the person who developed animal breeding as an academic and applied science discipline in the United States and around the world.
In Lush's time, animal breeding was a slow process because nature had to take its course as animals mated and their offspring were studied.

 Ostrich Ink: HEY BRANDON JAY by Kyle Buchanan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Jay's lush ballads and raucous pop songs are so swoony-moony beautiful that by the third song, everyone in the formerly baffled crowd is smiling one big collective smile.
Jay is also the coach of some very cool shows that pop up from time to time, in which an all-star roster of LA musicians get together and cover a classic album, song by song.
One of Jay's bands has often opened for the other, and two of them will be playing at the hipster-stocked Sunset Junction this year: Gwendolyn and the Good-Time Gang on the 23rd, and The 88 on the 24th.

 [No title]
Professor Lush has made major contributions to unravelling the hereditary contributions to animal production whereas Dr. Blaxter has unravelled the nutritional requirements of animals, especially ruminants.
Thus their work has effectively contributed to both aspects of the factors regulating animal production: the control and exploitation of the genetic endowment, and the provision of the most favorable nutritional environment in which genetic endowment can be expressed.
Jay L. Lush has one more than any agricultural scientist both to investigate the genetic basis of traits important for animal production, to assess their value and to improve them by initiating breeding programmes of proven practical effectiveness.

For example, when is a crossbred animal considered a composite breed and when do we stop thinking about them as composites?
Perhaps this definition from The Genetics of Populations by Jay L. Lush helps explain why a good definition of "breed" is elusive.
As you can see from Dr. Lush's definition it is at least in part the perception of the breeders and the livestock industry which decides when a group of individuals constitutes a "breed".

 Fish farming does not create a net food gain for the world, says aquaculture specialist Rosamond Naylor - FSI Stanford
Much to the chagrin of American aquaculture scientists, who have never had a real chance to apply their work in their home country, the theory underlying Norwegian fish breeding comes from the United States.
In 1937, Jay L. Lush, an Iowa State agriculture professor, wrote "Animal Breeding Plans," a book that for the first time applied the laws of quantitative genetics to animal populations, proving that the rate at which an individual animal acquires body mass could be increased through selective breeding.
In the course of just a few decades, the food-conversion ratios of cattle, chickens and pigs were all at least doubled, meaning that the same amount of grain could grow twice as much meat.
