G. F. (Gustave Frederick) Heuser was a pioneer in "scientific poultrykeeping," being just the third person in the United States to receive a Ph.D. in Poultry Science. His teaching and research career spanned most of the exciting "golden age of poultrykeeping," which ended around 1960 with the rise of factory farming. Heuser's work, which included over 200 articles on poultry nutrition, is as much a revelation today as ever. Heuser was also the editor of the American Poultry Association's journal, "Poultry Science," for twenty years.
