  • 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.

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.
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.
