  • 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.

Nitrogen Efficiency and its Implications for Sustainable Dairy Nutrition with Dr. Kelly Nichols
Q: How do you measure nitrogen efficiency? Is it nitrogen excretion per unit of milk or per cow?
The traditional and most widely used measure is feed nitrogen relative to milk nitrogen, which informs both practical diet decisions and how researchers interpret nitrogen efficiency across different production scenarios.
Applied Amino Acid Nutrition For Record Breaking Milk Solids with Dr. Mike VanAmburgh
Q: For sure. Dr. Zimmerman, you're usually my co-host, but today you actually gave a presentation. So give me the tree tops of what you talked about today.
Zermerman summarized the market-ready products Aminosure XL and Aminosure XM, highlighted differences in stability and bioavailability, and emphasized the need to consider how these products perform in TMR and in-cow feeding strategies.
IFEEDER Research Submission Program with Lara Moody, Dr. Chad Risley, and Dr. Yan-Tai Hung of IFEEDER
Q: How is IFEEDER funded and what changes have occurred in funding sources?
Funding has shifted from about 90% industry dollars to roughly 40% industry with the remainder from grants and other stakeholders like National Corn Growers Association and United Soybean Board, enabling greater project scope.
IFEEDER Research Submission Program with Lara Moody, Dr. Chad Risley, and Dr. Yan-Tai Hung of IFEEDER
Q: What is the core mission of IFEEDER and how has it evolved since its inception?
IFeedER began with the goal of supporting the US animal feed and pet food industry and has expanded to include education, sustainability, and broader research initiatives, with a strategic plan and increasing engagement from universities and other stakeholders.
Manure Evaluation: Cows and Their Rations LIVE with Dr. Mary Beth Hall and Dr. Stefano Vandoni
Q: Mary Beth, what were the big takeaways from the January 7 presentation on manure and what to look for when evaluating manure?
The main points are that manure reflects what happens along the entire gut, not just the rumen, and its appearance, consistency, and related metrics can guide adjustments in diet, management, and housing; however, interpretation must be contextual and integrated with herd-level observations and other data.
