Description
Summary:An obituary for Professor Andrzej Rutkowski, President of the Polish Branch of World's Poultry Science Association, who died on Jan 13, 2020, is presented. Prof. Rutkowski was employed as a trainee assistant, then assistant and senior assistant in the Department of Animal Nutrition and Feed Management. He obtained his PhD degree in his alma mater in 1984. Another step in his academic career occurred eight years later, when he received the title of Professor of Agricultural Science, by order of the President of Poland. The highest academic honor was when he was awarded the title of Doctor Honoris causa, from the Senate of the University of Science and Technology in Bydgoszcz in 2019. The Professor's academic interests were mainly focused around efficiency of feeding poultry. The Professor's greatest research undertaking in the last few years was an attempt to determine the possibility to use local protein feed in mixtures designed for broilers, laying hens and pigs, which was a multiannual program implemented by the Polish Government and which has been in place since 2011.
