Biographical history
Jacob Biely, an internationally recognized poultry scientist, was born in Russia. He came to Canada with his family following the Russian Revolution and enrolled at the University of British Columbia in 1922. Biely graduated in 1926 with a B.Sc. in agriculture. He took a Masters's degree in science at Kansas State College (1929) before returning to UBC, where he earned his M.Sc. in Agriculture (1930). Biely worked for the Canadian National Research Council before joining the UBC Department of Poultry Science faculty full-time in 1935. In 1952, he succeeded E.A. Lloyd as head of the department. Following the Faculty of Agriculture reorganization in 1955, Biely became Chairman of Poultry Sciences, which he held until his retirement in 1968.
