Don Mahan was originally a farm boy raised on a general purpose farm during his childhood. He attended Purdue University and attained a BS degree, whereupon he was employed as an extension agent in Indiana for approximately 3 years before returning to Purdue to work on a MS degree. He pursued and received a PhD degree from the University of Illinois in 1969. He joined the faculty at The Ohio State University where he has taught several courses in nutrition and conducted swine research. His research program has been active where Don has spent most of his effort in evaluating the mineral and vitamin needs of pigs at all stages of production. Most of his effort has been directed toward Se and vitamin E, but more recently has centered on the use of organic minerals. He has received several national and state awards for his research activities.
