A @MSUAgBio and honorary Spartans reunion in Australia for the @FeedworksL conference in Australia. So great to catch up with friends and some of the greatest minds in ruminant nutrition 🐮

[ADSA @ADSAorg]

For decades, research & conventional management have pointed to 60 days as the standard for dry period length. But @AnimNutr at @CANRatMSU sought to challenge this standard, armed w/ #JournalofDairyScience study findings (https://t.co/2TJ9wUL9OR).

[Dairy at MSU @DairyMsu]

New research from Dr. Barry Bradford @AnimNutr suggests that managing for shorter (40-50 days) dry periods may be possible. Read more here: https://t.co/iOMLC3rdiz

[Western Canadian Dairy Seminar @WCDS_Dairy]

The #WCDS2024 Transition Management Session covered the interaction between peripartum nutrition/health/repro and using dry period data to improve lactation. Thank you José Santos and Barry Bradford!

[Progressive Dairy Operators @PDODairy]

@AnimNutr discusses alternative technologies to digesters to help get small-medium sized dairies to net zero. Options include manure solids separation, efficient cropping program, bedded pack management.

Whether or not you are in the market for a bull, you have to listen to the radio spot @BradfordKrantz pulled together for the Brad Z Ranch bull sale!

[Brad Z Ranch @BradZRanch]

Listen to the radio ad we created to promote our March 2 bull and heifer sale. We've added a photo so you have something to look at while you listen. More sale info at https://t.co/4P86jP90pu

[Tri-State Dairy Nutrition Conference @TriDairy]

Announcing the 3rd annual Tri-State dairy field day: November 14, 2023 at SwissLane Farms near Alto, Michigan!
This year's theme is "Managing for the Best and Planning for the Worst on Dairies."
Space is limited, so register today: https://t.co/EBeqKDLK0R

Given similar management, are #Holstein or #Jersey cows more profitable on dairies in the north-central US? Learn more in a #JDSCommunications study from @MSUAnSci researchers led by @AnimNutr ➡️ https://t.co/VvZj9gnftV

Well-written response from @GHGGuru following the NYTimes / Greenpeace attack piece. I'll save them the FOIA time and let them know that about half of my research is funded by the livestock sector, too. https://t.co/yxaDLeBk3V

[Barry Bradford @AnimNutr]

Some hardy souls at Jem-Lot Dairy for a @MichiganMilk and @MSUExtension cover crops field day today. Great insights from many attendees. Thanks to the Schafers for hosting!

[Barry Bradford @AnimNutr]

(3/3) Congrats to Steven Quanz and the rest of the team for "gutting it out" through a tough study. And thanks to Applied Animal Science for making this an Editor's Choice article for October, making it free to access. Let us know what you think!

[Barry Bradford @AnimNutr]

(1/3) Some of the more challenging questions I get from dairy nutritionists are when herds are troubleshooting #enteric diseases. It's a huge frustration not only because this seems to pop up out of nowhere, but also because it tends to hit the most productive cows in a herd.

[Barry Bradford @AnimNutr]

(2/3) We had the "luck" of dealing with a gut disease outbreak during one of Steven Quanz's experiments. Although frustrating at the time, I think the case study we just published will help make progress on this #dairy cattle syndrome: https://t.co/jSK05UyKAY
