From 1923 until her retirement in 1956, Simpson was on the staff of the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen. The Rowett Institute had been proposed in 1913 when a Joint Committee of the University of Aberdeen and the North Scotland College of Agriculture decided upon the need for an Institute for Research in Animal Nutrition however, research did not commence until 1919. Much of Simpson s work was concentrated on the role of iodine in nutrition.01 She died on 14 February 1981, aged 87 years. 

For many years, Hirst was a member of the Board of Governors of the Rowett Research Institute, Aberdeen, where he took a keen interest in the work of the Institute as a whole, and particularly that of Dr. A. E. Oxford and the microbiology department. This led to collaboration on the nature of the reserve carbohydrate synthesized by Cycloposthium and by the holotrich ciliates present in sheep s rumen. Both protozoal polysaccharides were shown to be amylopectin in type. The work was continued with other protozoa, in collaboration with J. F. Ryley, and the presence of starch or amylopectin-type polysaccharides was established in Chilomonas paratnecium, Haematococcus pluvialis, and Tet-raselmis carteriiformis.

The digestibility and energy values for ruminants presented in the tables have been established using a database of digestibility measurements obtained in vivo on more than 300 feed samples studied by INRA (France) and by the Rowett Research Institute (United Kingdom).

The most comprehensive studies involving energy losses as methane were those carried out at the Rowett Research Institute (see Further reading). For 48 silages, mean energy loss as methane was 7.7 per cent of the gross energy, with a standard deviation of 0.71.

The bibliography attached to this paper is intended to be representative it is certainly not comprehensive. In only few instances is more than one authority quoted for any statement. The choice of references may sometimes seem arbitrary. In general the writer has chosen illustrations because they seem particularly typical or in some cases because they record work of which he has some personal knowledge. Like every other writer of a review article, he is greatly indebted to his predecessors. As one concerned mainly with human physiology and nutrition, the present writer is particularly grateful to Dr. G. 0. Hunter, of the Rowett Research Institute, whose excellent review (1953) provides a lucid guide in a wide field of veterinary literature.
