U of A senate elects developer as new chancellor

Roy Berg

Celebrated researcher Roy Berg, who revolutionized Alberta’s beef cattle industry during a life in which he made a tremendous difference, has passed away at 85.

Roy T. Berg, a world-renowned animal geneticist and a giant in Alberta agriculture, passed away yesterday after a long illness. He was 85.

Berg revolutionized the beef cattle industry in the 1960s with his innovative research. His hybrid breeding programs led to a 30 to 40 per cent increase in production, helping make Alberta a world leader in beef production.

“Roy Berg was larger than life,” said John Kennelly, dean of the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences. “As an individual, as a scientist, as an administrator at the University of Alberta, he made a tremendous difference. He was a very accomplished researcher who cared passionately about students. He was one of the best-known professors ever to work in our faculty and his impact on the agricultural sector in Alberta is unparalleled.”
