Dr. David Brown is an Assistant Professor of Animal Science at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES). He holds a B.S. and M.S. in Animal Science from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and a Ph.D. in Animal Science from the University of Limpopo (formerly the University of the North), South Africa.
​
Prior to joining UMES, Dr. Brown served as the State Small Ruminant Extension Specialist at the University of Missouri, where he developed a comprehensive small ruminant extension program from the ground up. His programs reached hundreds of producers through monthly educational webinars, annual sheep and goat field days, multispecies grazing workshops, and American lamb consumer and producer education initiatives.
​
Dr. Brown’s current applied research and extension efforts focus on low-input small ruminant production systems, enhanced biosecurity for mixed-species farms on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, improved small ruminant health through nutraceutical plants, and the use of sustainable, on-farm biological control strategies targeting the free-living stages of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) in sheep and goat production systems.
