Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. James Spain: Heat Stress and Modern Dairy Cows - Part 1 | Ep. 143
Q: How should cooling systems be operated to maximize effectiveness?
Cooling should be designed around the cow as the thermometer, using nighttime cooling with fans to maximize heat transfer through the skin, and potentially using limited daytime cooling with targeted methods like misters or sprinklers to manage humidity and energy use.
Dr. James Spain: Heat Stress and Modern Dairy Cows - Part 1 | Ep. 143
Q: What are your thoughts on the future challenges as heat increases with climate change and higher-producing cows?
The challenge will continue to compound because higher milk production increases the heat increment and internal heat production; producers will need to adapt systems to transfer heat more efficiently to maintain thermal balance, including smarter, cow-centered cooling strategies rather than relying solely on ambient temperature.
Dr. Susanna Räisänen: Histidine and New Amino Acid Trends | Ep. 141
Q: So welcome Susanna, will you tell everybody a little bit about you and how you got where you are?
Susanna describes her background from Finland, education in animal science, a PhD path at Penn State, and her move to Aarhus University, which led her to focus on histidine and dairy cows.
Dr. Laura Hernandez: Managing Hypocalcemia | Ep. 92
Q: So tell us, what would be the best way to manage cows and prevent delayed and persistent hypocalcemia?
The guest emphasizes prevention as the guiding principle, with a focus on prepartum diet planning and tailoring strategies to the herd and management realities; large, controlled comparisons are limited, so decisions should consider individual farm context and potential trade-offs.
Dr. Felipe Peña Mosca: H5N1 in Dairy Cows | Ep. 102
Q: Felipe, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I'm originally from Uruguay with a veterinary degree and a master's, now working in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Universidad de la República, moved to the US in 2019, completed my PhD at the University of Minnesota, and since 2023 I've been a post-doc at Cornell, focusing on dairy cow health and mastitis control.
