  • One of my go to. Great podcast

    I have trouble with not enough volume when driving in my truck. Voice tracks seem low. I have to max speaker volume to hear. I may or may not be partially deaf though.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rethinking Immunity in Transition Cows: Are They Truly Suppressed with Dr. Lance Baumgard, Iowa State University, and Dr. Robert Fry, Atlantic Dairy Consulting
Q: What were some of the key things you talked about during your webinar?
Lance explains the economics of using precision-release choline, the benefits seen in colostrum and daily milk, and how managing transition challenges can be more impactful than trying to prove immune suppression. Bob reinforces the idea that environmental management and reducing stressors often yield better on-farm results than attempting to suppress the immune system.
Exploring Flexibilities in Protein Nutrition for a Sustainable Dairy Industry with Dr. Kelly Nichols, University of California-Davis, and Dr. Susanna Räisänen, Aarhus University
Q: What is meant by flexibility in protein nutrition?
Flexibility refers to the mammary gland and overall ruminant metabolism's ability to utilize different protein and energy sources to meet production goals, leading to non-linear responses and a need for more nuanced feeding strategies beyond simple, fixed amino acid requirements.
Exploring Flexibilities in Protein Nutrition for a Sustainable Dairy Industry with Dr. Kelly Nichols, University of California-Davis, and Dr. Susanna Räisänen, Aarhus University
Q: What role does protein nutrition play in sustainability?
Protein nutrition is central to balancing production with environmental impact, especially by managing nitrogen excretion through smarter amino acid supply and energy balance, ultimately aiming for more efficient milk and meat production with fewer environmental losses.
Feed Additives to Mitigate Methane with guests: Dr. David Yáñez - Ruiz, CSIC; Dr. André Bannink, Wageningen Universi ty & Research; Dr. Alejandro Belanche, University of Zaragoza; Dr. Juan Tricarico, Dairy Management Inc.; Dr. Agustin del Prado
Q: How is environmental benefit quantified and scaled across systems?
Researchers discuss multiple scales, from farm-level accounting to life-cycle analysis and national inventories. They emphasize choosing appropriate metrics (e.g., methane per day vs per unit of milk) and ensuring data harmonization to support credible modeling and reporting for carbon markets and policy.
Feed Additives to Mitigate Methane with guests: Dr. David Yáñez - Ruiz, CSIC; Dr. André Bannink, Wageningen Universi ty & Research; Dr. Alejandro Belanche, University of Zaragoza; Dr. Juan Tricarico, Dairy Management Inc.; Dr. Agustin del Prado
Q: What is the overall workflow from discovery to regulatory approval for feed additives?
The process starts with identifying potential compounds using literature and computational tools, then validating candidates in vitro, followed by in vivo animal trials that are carefully designed and regulated. Data is modeled to predict outcomes, and a regulatory package is prepared focusing on intended use, safety, efficacy, and manufacturing quality to obtain authorization.
