Dr. Chris Ashworth Biography

Dr. Chris Ashworth is a veterinarian and animal health expert with nearly four decades of experience in cattle medicine, nutrition, and toxicology. Ashworth graduated from Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine after majoring in dairy science at LSU. Following veterinary school, he completed a one-year large animal internship and a three-year food animal medicine and surgery residency with an emphasis in internal medicine and infectious disease at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After his residency, Ashworth served as an assistant professor at the University of Illinois before joining Purina Mills Inc. at its research facility outside St. Louis, Missouri.

Ashworth served as the national dairy and beef technical veterinarian for six years with Purina Mills, overseeing the bovine portion of the diagnostic laboratory and conducting herd investigations nationwide. He later joined Monsanto Dairy Business, supporting Posilac (rBST) for dairy cattle, and continued with Elanco Animal Health after Monsanto sold the business. Ashworth then joined Zinpro Performance Minerals as a Global Research and Development Veterinarian, based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. In this role, he provides beef, feedlot, and dairy customers with training and technical support on research findings, production trends, and optimal ruminant production. He also assists with ruminant research efforts and collaborates with sales and marketing teams to develop technical materials and presentations. His areas of expertise include animal welfare, heat stress abatement, farm profitability, and diagnostics.

Ashworth has maintained a focus on veterinary toxicology of food animals for more than 35 years and serves as co-chair of the AAVLD and USAHA Committee on Toxicology, Nutrition and Environment. He has participated in planning committees for the High Plains Dairy Conference and the Mid-South Ruminant Nutrition Conferences, and serves on animal welfare committees for the U.S. Animal Health Association, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, and the American Veterinary Medical Association. Ashworth's committee involvement and industry experience position him as a knowledgeable resource on herd health, mineral nutrition, animal welfare, and sustainable cattle production.
