ASAS wishes you a wonderful 2023! May your herds stay healthy, your experiments run smoothly, and your grant applications find success 💙

Dr. Peter Hansen, Distinguished Professor & L.E. "Red" Larson Professor, received the @CritterChatter's Morrison Award. The Morrison Award is the highest award given by ASAS and recognizes members for their outstanding recent research. Congratulations, Dr. Hansen! 🎉

Congratulations, Richard! How’s that for a graduation gift? 🎁 Another first-author paper, soon available at TAS! @CritterChatter 🎉

This last week @jenna_sarich got the second manuscript of her MSc thesis accepted for publication! We are very proud of this work and hope you all enjoy the read. @CritterChatter @agbiousask #beef #cattle #ProudSupervisor

.@Genome_gov researchers and collaborators have recently completed high-quality DNA sequencing of nearly 2000 canine genomes and identified genomic variation across the canid family!

Congratulations to Godstime Taiwo, a doctoral student in Animal and Food Science! He won the young scholar award and the student travel scholarship for the American Society of Animal Science! 👏 @CritterChatter

.@michiganstateu researchers are bringing together the auto and dairy industries to explore sustainable climate solutions. MSU is known for its anaerobic digester, and that technology could be used in the future to charge electric vehicles. canr.msu.edu/news/msu-resea…
