Hermann-von-Nathusius-Medaille
The Hermann-von-Nathusius medal was endowed in 1928 by the German Society for Animal Breeding (DGfZ) in memory of Hermann Engelhard von Nathusius, an important German breeder. It is awarded, usually annually, to those who have excelled in the area of animal breeding, or in the production branch. [1]
The DGFZ was founded in 1905 as a non-profit association which, according to its statutes, should serve society by promoting close cooperation between animal breeding and veterinary medicine, to bring benefit in the areas of animal breeding, animal husbandry, animal feedstuffs, reproduction and health of livestock.
