Child nutrition reauthorization advances
The Senate Agriculture Committee forged a bipartisan agreement as it advanced a bill at a business meeting Wednesday morning to reauthorize child nutrition programs for five years. The programs, which had expired Sept. 30, govern the national school lunch and breakfast programs. The committee unanimously reported out the bill, which now goes to the Senate floor for a debate and a vote. The whole-committee approach was touted in such a way that the bill wasn't even brought forward as a "chairman's mark" but instead as a "committee print" since it reflects the efforts of every member on the committee. "This bipartisan legislation is a true compromise. Not everyone got everything they wanted, but a lot of folks have a lot to be happy about," Senate Agriculture Committee chairman Pat Roberts (R., Kan.) said.

Global feed production just shy of 1b tons
Results from the "2016 Global Feed Survey" - released Jan. 22 by Alltech - estimate that international feed tonnage is now at 995.5 million metric tons, a 1.5% increase over 2014 and a 14% increase since Alltech first published global feed survey results in 2011.
The analysis of five-year trends showed growth predominantly from the pig, poultry and aqua feed sectors and intensification of production in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Europe.
"The feed industry is an excellent barometer of economic health and, based on our five years of data, predicts economic growth more accurately than many other indices," said Alltech chief innovation officer Aidan Connolly, who headed up the initiative to conduct the survey.

Forum on Antimicrobial Stewardship Held in Washington, DC
On January 20-21, the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU), Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC), Farm Foundation and the Economic Research Service held a form entitled "Antimicrobial Stewardship: Policy, Education and Economics." The forum was attended by approximately 150 representatives from government, academia, industry and non-governmental organizations. FASS Washington Representative Lowell Randel participated in the meeting.
In addition, the Farm Foundation and APLU/AAVMC discussed their recent activities related to antibiotic resistance. The Farm Foundation recently conducted a series of 12 regional educational workshops to provide livestock producers, feed suppliers, veterinarians and support service organizations about recent policy changes. The results of these workshops can be found on the Farm Foundation website.
APLU and AAVMC reported on the results of their joint Task Force on Antibiotic Resistance in Production Agriculture. The task force produced a document outlining recommendations for education, outreach and research. A copy of the report can be found here. The Farm Foundation, APLU and AAVMC all indicated plans to continue work to address the complex issue of antimicrobial stewardship. It is anticipated that additional meetings will be held in different regions around the country to increase awareness and identify ways to address the recommendations contained in the reports.

Join us for the LDHM Conference
The "Large Dairy Herd Management" (LDHM) book has been a trusted resource for dairy producers and advisors for decades and a staple in universities' upper level dairy management courses. The last update, released in 1992, is still a good resource, but dairy production practices and management tools have changed significantly since that time. In view of continuing interest in the 2nd edition (1992) of LDHM and requests for an update, the ADSA® Foundation has undertaken publication of a 3rd edition (eBook) of LDHM led by Dave Beede.
As a first step in creating this comprehensive and essential resource, dairy experts from around the world have been selected to prepare and present chapter papers at the LDHM Conference that will be held May 1-4, 2016 at the Hilton Oak Brook Hills Resort and Conference Center, Oak Brook IL. Final publication of the e-Book is anticipated in 2017. We invite and encourage you to be a part of this important project that will benefit the dairy industry years for years to come.
The Conference is designed to provide an opportunity to share information on the topics in the e-Book and for authors to obtain feedback on the chapter papers they have developed. The program is designed so attendees will be able to participate in the sessions of most interest to them. The format will be different from your typical conference in that there will be multiple concurrent sessions organized around the e-Book sections topics (click here to see the list of sections).
Why should you attend?
- You will learn about the views of other industry leaders on the future of large dairy herd management as you help shape an important educational tool for the dairy industry.
- Conference/ e-Book topics are applicable to producers/managers of large dairy herds and you will be the first to see the information.
- You will have access to global experts on 96 large herd topics (click here to see the list of topics) during the 2 1/2-day Conference including the opportunity to ask questions, provide suggestions and engage in discussions during sessions and breaks.
- You will have opportunities for discussions and interactions with other large dairy herd producers and professional advisors from around the US and the world.
- There will be opportunities to visit with representatives of major global dairy support businesses and technical services.
- ADDITIONAL BENEFIT - The ADSA Foundation has just added another benefit for attending. Included with your registration will be a free 90 day trial of S-PAC. For current subscribers, you will have 90 days added to the length of your subscription
Remember, the program is designed so that you can participate in the sessions of greatest interest to you, selecting from among the 8 concurrent sessions that will take place. The whole content from the Conference will be organized into an e-Book available from ADSA to the global dairy industry in spring of 2017.
S-PAC Grows Again
We are pleased to announce the addition of Proceedings from the 2014 and 2015 Southern Dairy Conference to S-PAC. Subscribers now have 24/7 access to a total of 537 proceedings from 57 Conferences. Visit our website https://spac.adsa.org for a complete list of conferences. If you are not already a subscriber, today is a great time to join. A subscription discount is another of your ADSA member benefits.
