Dr. Thomas H. Terrill has been a Research Professional at Fort Valley State University (FVSU) since 1992.  He is author and/or coauthor of over 25 refereed journal articles, numerous proceedings papers and abstracts and 1 book chapter.  He is the coordinator for the Southern Consortium on Small Ruminant Parasite Control and a research collaborator with a number of national and international institutions/agencies, including the University of Georgia (Athens, GA), Auburn University (Auburn, AL), Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge, LA), The University of Florida (Gainesville, FL), Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Blacksburg, VA), Tuskegee University (Tuskegee, AL), Utah State University (Logan, Utah), Texas A & M University (Stephenville, TX), USDA-ARS (Brooksville, FL; Booneville, AR; Tifton, GA), The University of Puerto Rico (Mayaguez, PR), University of the Virgin Islands (St. Croix, USVI), The Danish Centre for Experimental Parasitology (Copenhagen, Denmark), Onderstpoort Veterinary Institute (Onderstepoort, South Africa), Alemaya University (Alemaya, Ethiopia),and Debub University (Awassa, Ethiopia).  Dr. Terrill is a member of several professional organizations and is currently serving as an Associate Editor for Agronomy Journal and as Editor of the American Forage and Grassland Council monthly publication Forage Progress.  He is the FVSU technical representative for the USDA Western Regional Project W-102, “Integrated methods of parasite control for improved livestock nutrition”.  His teaching assignments include graduate courses in the Animal Science Master’s program at FVSU.
 

Research Interests

Dr. Terrill is Principal Investigator for a number of grants supporting research in alternative forages for goats and epidemiology and control of small ruminant nematode parasites.  His research is focused on development of year-round goat grazing systems, epidemiology and anthelmintic resistance of gastrointestinal nematodes, and use of novel, non-chemical parasitic nematode control methods, including nematode-trapping fungi, copper oxide wire particles, and condensed tannin (CT)-containing forages.  His particular area of expertise is CT analysis methodology and evaluation of CT-containing forages in ruminant diets
