Avian Medicine Professor Emeritus George ‘Buck’ Rowland dies at 64

George N. “Buck” Rowland III, avian medicine professor emeritus, died Sept. 6, a year after his retirement from UGA’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
An expert in bone pathology, Rowland was on the faculty for 25 years, working primarily in the Poultry Disease Research Center with a joint appointment in the pathology department.
“Some of Dr. Rowland’s greatest contributions were his mentorship of graduate students and his willingness to collaborate with researchers throughout the college, the university, the country and the world,” says Dean Keith W. Prasse.
Rowland taught both D.V.M. students and graduate students working toward a master of avian medicine degree.
“He was very active in diagnostic histopathology,” says Stanley Kleven, professor and head of the department of avian medicine. “Dr. Rowland also took the leadership in our ratite research center, dealing with diseases of ostriches and emus. He was one of the true experts on bone pathology. People consulted him when they had diagnostic problems or needed help with their research.”
