Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

STtalks #391 - The Impact of EcoFeed®cow at Barrington Dairy with Pete Gelber
Q: For producers listening who may be unsure about genomic testing or Ecofeed, what would you tell them after seeing this trial play out?
The key is to prioritize breeding to good bulls with strong Ecofeed indices and to incorporate Ecofeed into the overall selection index, since feed efficiency can translate into real profitability without requiring drastic changes in management.
STtalks #385 - STgenetics® Newest Traits: STurdy & Mature Live Weight with Kevin Ziemba, Jocelyn Johnson & David Kendall
Q: Can these traits be used in STgenetics' mating programs and strategy platform?
Yes. Both mature live weight and sturdy are published and can be included in mating programs and customized indexes, with all genotyped animals receiving evaluations to inform selection strategies.
STtalks #385 - STgenetics® Newest Traits: STurdy & Mature Live Weight with Kevin Ziemba, Jocelyn Johnson & David Kendall
Q: What gap does sturdy fill that hasn't been addressed before in the industry?
Sturdy breaks the longstanding link between stature and strength by adjusting for body weight and providing a true measure of structural width and durability, which helps producers select cows that are both smaller and more robust, rather than sacrificing one for the other.
STtalks #383 - Journey of Genetics Part 6: The Logistics of Distribution with Jim Chapman
Q: How do you handle domestic versus international shipments and potential delays?
Domestic shipments follow a tight weekly schedule with hubs and weather a major factor, while international shipments may face customs delays and geopolitical disruptions; the system is designed to use multiple tanks and routes to minimize risk and maintain temperature.
STtalks #383 - Journey of Genetics Part 6: The Logistics of Distribution with Jim Chapman
Q: How is the semen temperature managed from storage to shipping?
Stems are stored in large liquid nitrogen tanks at around negative 320 Fahrenheit, with shipping tanks using a nitrogen-based system to keep the product at safe temperatures during transit.
