Luis Tedeschi is a professor in the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Agronomy Engineering and Master of Science degree in Animal and Forage Sciences from the University of São Paulo (Piracicaba, Brazil), and his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Animal Science from Cornell University (Ithaca, NY). His research focuses on the integration of accumulated scientific knowledge of ruminant nutrition into mathematical models to solve contemporary problems. The nutrition models he has developed are being used to develop more efficient production systems while reducing resource use and impact on the environment. He has published more than 250 articles in peer-reviewed journals and book chapters and presented at more than 80 modeling nutrition conferences and workshops worldwide. Tedeschi is a Texas A&M AgriLife Research Faculty Fellow and recipient of the 2011 Sir Frederick McMaster Fellowship and the 2013 J. William Fulbright Scholarship. He received the 2017 American Feed Industry Association in Ruminant Nutrition Research Award and the 2019 Texas A&M University Chancellor EDGES Fellowships. He served on the committee of the 2016 Nutrient Requirement of Beef Cattle by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

Danny Fox is a professor emeritus of the Department of Animal Science at Cornell University. He received his Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from The Ohio State University. His 35 years of research focused on the development of data, methods, models, and computer programs to accurately predict cattle nutrient requirements, as well as nutrients derived from feeds to meet cattle requirements in unique production situations worldwide. His team at Cornell developed the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System cattle nutrition model and software, which has users in more than 42 countries, for formulating rations for beef and dairy cattle. Fox has been a member of numerous national committees, including National Research Council committees on Animal Nutrition, Feed Intake, and the 1996 Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle. His growth and energy reserves models were adapted by both the 1996 Beef Cattle National Research Council committee and the 2001 Dairy Cattle National Research Council committee. Fox received numerous awards during his 35-year career. In 2019, he was inducted into The Ohio State University Animal Sciences Hall of Fame and received the Plains Nutrition Council Legends of Feedlot Nutrition Award.
