Dr. Roger Scaletti grew up in Doylestown, Pennsylvania on a small family farm. Being around animals and livestock while growing up led him to pursue a degree in dairy and animal science at Penn State University. He then attended the University of Kentucky where he completed a master's degree and Ph.D. in ruminant nutrition in May 2003, with a focus on trace mineral nutrition. After graduation, he started working with Alltech. His role with Alltech is in technical support working with Sel-Plex and Bioplex trace minerals in North America.
