Dr. Harris retired from the University of Arkansas in 1991 after 31 years of teaching and research. His early research involved the development of diluents for chicken semen, which have been used extensively in the poultry industry. As project leader for the Environmental Physiology Research lab at the UA poultry farm, the main emphasis of his work was on the reproductive functions of poultry, including methods of freezing semen. Dr. Harris also did extensive research on management practices to improve the performance of chickens in the commercial industry. These included effects of heat stress, floor materials, water temperature, and feeding and watering systems. Dr. Harris has served in many national and international organizations.
