The Rowett Institute for research on animal nutrition had its origin under a scheme for promoting scientific research in agriculture adopted by the Development Commission in 1911.The Governing Body, which originally consisted of an equal number of members appointed by the Court of the University of Aberdeen and the Governors of the North of Scotland College of Agriculture, was constituted in 1913. Within recent years it has been expanded to include persons nominated by the Secretary of State for Scotland, the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Agricultural Research Council, and the Medical Research Council. Research work was begun in temporary accommodation in Marischal College in 1914, under the direction of Dr John Boyd Orr—now Lord Boyd-Orr—who continued as Director until his retirement in 1945.

This group, which is concerned with the applications of mathematics to agricultural science, was formed in 1970 and has since met at approximately yearly intervals in London for one-day meetings. The thirty-second meeting of the group, chaired by Professor D. Scholefield of the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research, North Wyke, was held in the Kohn Centre at the Royal Society, 6 Carlton House Terrace, London on Friday, 14 April 2000 when the following papers were read.


In 1912 it was provisionally arranged between the Development Commission and the Scottish Education Department that an Institute for Research in Animal Nutrition should be established in Scotland under the supervision of a Joint Committee representing the North of Scotland College of Agriculture and the University of Aberdeen. This Joint Committee was constituted in 1913 and research in animal nutrition was begun in April 1914, when Dr J. B. Orr—now Lord Boyd-Orr, the first official appointed by the Committee—commenced work in temporary accommodation obtained in the Agricultural and Physiological Departments of the University, surely a fitting cradle. Since 1946 the Governing Body has been expanded to include persons nominated by the Secretary of State for Scotland, the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Agricultural Research Council and the Medical Research Council. Its chairman is the Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Aberdeen. Under the direction of Orr the work grew, and through the generosity of the late Dr John Quiller Rowett there were erected central buildings thereafter called the Rowett Research Institute, which were opened in 1922. The Duthie Experimental Stock Farm, which extends to over 500 acres, was also made possible through a benefaction to commemorate a world-famous Shorthorn breeder.
