Trevor DeVries is a professor and Canada Research Chair in the Department of Animal Biosciences at the University of Guelph. In that position, DeVries leads a highly productive research program focused on understanding the applied links among dairy cow nutrition, behavior, health, and performance. He is committed to extending that work to the field, contributing numerous invited research presentations, webinars, and extension articles. DeVries also extends that knowledge through his teaching at the university, which includes instructing courses in the area of dairy management, coaching the university Dairy Challenge team, and mentoring students.
