David Beever,
International Nutrition Director, Richard Keenan & Co
David joined Keenan in 2004 as their International Nutrition Director.
A farmer’s son from Yorkshire, after graduating from Newcastle University he spent 20 years at Grassland Research Institute, Hurley and was Head of Ruminant Nutrition and Metabolism for the last 7 years.
After closure of the Institute he joined Reading University as Professor of Animal Science and became the Director of the Centre of Dairy Research (CEDAR). He remained at CEDAR until his appointment to Keenan.
David’s research interests have always focussed on the nutrition of ruminant livestock, principally dairy cows and beef cattle. He has written over 500 scientific papers and presented at many major National and International conferences. He was awarded the Roche National Livestock Award in 2003.
In his new role David remains committed to his science but also to the delivery of that knowledge to the farming community for which he retains considerable passion.
