- Abstract
"The Division of Animal Nutrition was created in February, 1927, by the appointment of a Chief of the Division and certain members of the staff. Since investigations on problems relating to animal nutrition, and particularly on the utilization of phosphoric acid by animals, had been in progress in the Department of Biochemistry of the University of Adelaide for some years previously, a small staff was available of people already experienced in this type of work. It seemed advisable, therefore, to inaugurate the Division by extending the nucleus of work and personnel thus available, and the Division was accordingly centred at Adelaide. The Council of the University of Adelaide very generously agreed to render available to the Commonwealth Council for Scientific and Industrial Research sufficient land upon their own property to accommodate the laboratories of the Division, while the Commonwealth Council for Scientific and Industrial Research on its side undertook to render space and materials available for the expansion and continuation of the work of the Animal Products Research Foundation, under which the researches, on nutrition then in progress at the University of Adelaide had been conducted. The University and the Director of the Waite Institute furthermore made available to the Council sufficient land at the Waite Institute for the erection of yards for sheep and a room to accommodate the respiration calorimeter."
