Wilhelm Stocker (agricultural scientist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Stocker (born May 22, 1899 in Ratzenried ; † April 24, 1979 in Wangen im Allgäu ) was a German milk scientist, specialist teacher and author.

Life

Following his training in dairy (master craftsman's certificate), Stocker studied agriculture, chemistry and bacteriology in Hohenheim, Munich and Kiel (state examination as a qualified farmer in 1923). He then worked as a researcher and teacher, most recently as a senior agricultural councilor at the state dairy teaching and research institute at the Dr. Oskar Farny Institute in Wangen im Allgäu.

He published his research results and knowledge in over 200 papers, including a. in his textbook “General Basics of Cheese Making Technology” and as a co-author of the “History of the Allgäu Dairy Industry”. Since he had a broad theoretical as well as practical knowledge, many official bodies such as the German Agricultural Society (DLG) and dairy institutions regularly made use of his knowledge. He was responsible for paying for the milk based on fat content and quality. In addition, he developed a lysate from lactic acid bacteria , which is still used today as a medicine, largely unchanged. He is considered a pioneer of the probiotic therapy approach.
