His master’s degree in animal science and Ph.D. in animal science is from the University of Minnesota.  Our laboratory focuses on research that increases our understanding of factors regulating growth and development of skeletal muscle in meat animals such as beef cattle.  Our group has used exogenous growth promotants like steroidal implants\, beta adrenergic agonists\, and ionophores as models to study the mechanism of postnatal muscle growth in meat animals. We have been using the beef on dairy model to study some of these differences in growth response to implants.  In addition\, our lab group evaluates natural compounds as potential alternatives to exogenous growth promotants.  Separately\, the research team is involved in developing novel means to enhance marbling in beef.  This research focuses on novel receptors present on intramuscular adipocytes that appear to have positive effects on lipid accumulation. \nEthan Lane\, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs\, NCBA\nEthan Lane\, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs\, NCBA\nPRESENTATION TITLE: The Only Constant is Change- Cattle Politics in Today’s Washington \nEthan Lane is the Senior Vice President of Government Affairs at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.
