From "CSIRO research for Auatralia (1962) pdf page 27:
"A Division of Animal Nutrition was formed in Adelaide in 1927, the first Chief being Professor T. Brailsford Robertson, incumbent of the Chair of Biochemistry and General Physiology in Adelaide. Two years later the Chief died, and Sir Charles Martin, F.R.S., who had just retired from the Directorship of the Lister Institute in London, came to Australia to lead the Division for three years. In 1932 Sir Charles returned to London, and the Division was then merged with the Division of Animal Health (see "Animals"). Twelve years later it was again accorded the status of an independent Division, and the present Chief, Dr. H. R. Marston, F.R.S., assumed control. The Division's laboratory is situated in the grounds of the University of Adelaide, and its 600 acre field station is at Glenthorne, a few miles from the city."
