He was a research professor in animal science at University of Wyoming before moving to Texas Tech University.[4]

Research and academic contributions

McGlone is known for his research and contributions in (a) the use of pheromones to alter farm animal and companion animal behavior,[5][6] (b) the welfare of transport in pigs, (c) housing and care of sows (adult pigs),[7] and (d) sustainable pork production systems.[8]

McGlone has published over 150 original refereed publications including papers, book chapters, abstracts and technical reports. He has been invited to speak in the USA, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Australia on animal behavior, welfare, and management.
