A @MSUAgBio and honorary Spartans reunion in Australia for the @FeedworksL conference in Australia. So great to catch up with friends and some of the greatest minds in ruminant nutrition 🐮

For decades, research & conventional management have pointed to 60 days as the standard for dry period length. But @AnimNutr at @CANRatMSU sought to challenge this standard, armed w/ #JournalofDairyScience study findings (doi.org/10.3168/jds.20…). dairyherd.com/news/dairy-pro…

New research from Dr. Barry Bradford @AnimNutr suggests that managing for shorter (40-50 days) dry periods may be possible. Read more here: ow.ly/PcNs50SRe2L

The #WCDS2024 Transition Management Session covered the interaction between peripartum nutrition/health/repro and using dry period data to improve lactation. Thank you José Santos and Barry Bradford! @AnimNutr #dairy #Cdndairy

@AnimNutr discusses alternative technologies to digesters to help get small-medium sized dairies to net zero. Options include manure solids separation, efficient cropping program, bedded pack management.

Whether or not you are in the market for a bull, you have to listen to the radio spot @BradfordKrantz pulled together for the Brad Z Ranch bull sale!

Announcing the 3rd annual Tri-State dairy field day: November 14, 2023 at SwissLane Farms near Alto, Michigan! This year's theme is "Managing for the Best and Planning for the Worst on Dairies." Space is limited, so register today: eventbrite.com/e/managing-for…

Given similar management, are #Holstein or #Jersey cows more profitable on dairies in the north-central US? Learn more in a #JDSCommunications study from @MSUAnSci researchers led by @AnimNutr ➡️ doi.org/10.3168/jdsc.2… #dairyscience

.@michiganstateu aims for a 2026 opening of a new #dairy #research facility. Hear about its progress with in our interview with @AnimNutr @MSUExtension @MSUAgBio @DairyMsu at #GLRDC2023 @brownfield #agnews brownfieldagnews.com/news/msu-aims-…

Really enjoying the dairypodcastshow.com while I’m working in the barn. If you like a good combination or technical and practical dairy science check it out! Keep up ‘em coming! @AnimNutr @RumenNut et al

Chad, CFO of @BioTownAg, explains their unique business model, generating energy and other products from beef and dairy operations in the area. @TriDairy

Mark Stoerman with Newtrient explaining what this organization does to push dairy sustainability technologies forward. @TriDairy

Now Wei Liao from @DairyMsu sharing concepts for #dairy farm biodigesters generating electricity for #EV charging stations in rural areas. @TriDairy

Next speaker for the @TriDairy program is Glen Arnold from @OhioState discussing best practices for capitalizing on nutrients from manure in cropping systems.

Program at @fairoaksfarms organized by @TriDairy off to a great start! Dana Kirk from MSU talking about biodigesters on #dairy farms to a crowd of about 70 including 32 who rode the @DairyMsu bus.

Welcome to the official account for the Tri-State Dairy Nutrition Conference, a collaborative effort of OSU, Purdue, and MSU. The 31st annual conference will take place April 10-12, 2023 in Fort Wayne, IN. Follow us for more updates! tristatedairy.org

Well-written response from @GHGGuru following the NYTimes / Greenpeace attack piece. I'll save them the FOIA time and let them know that about half of my research is funded by the livestock sector, too. clear.ucdavis.edu/blog/full-disc…

Some hardy souls at Jem-Lot Dairy for a @MichiganMilk and @MSUExtension cover crops field day today. Great insights from many attendees. Thanks to the Schafers for hosting!

(3/3) Congrats to Steven Quanz and the rest of the team for "gutting it out" through a tough study. And thanks to Applied Animal Science for making this an Editor's Choice article for October, making it free to access. Let us know what you think!

(2/3) We had the "luck" of dealing with a gut disease outbreak during one of Steven Quanz's experiments. Although frustrating at the time, I think the case study we just published will help make progress on this #dairy cattle syndrome: appliedanimalscience.org/article/S2590-…

(1/3) Some of the more challenging questions I get from dairy nutritionists are when herds are troubleshooting #enteric diseases. It's a huge frustration not only because this seems to pop up out of nowhere, but also because it tends to hit the most productive cows in a herd.
