Dairy, beef industries extend collaboration on animal care issues
In order to strengthen the ongoing partnership between the dairy and beef segments of the cattle industry on animal care issues, the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the national beef checkoff's Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program announced that they will be jointly offering more training opportunities for farmers and ranchers in 2016.
NMPF has been working for the last year to identify areas where its Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) program can further coordinate with the Dairy BQA Program. Both programs focus on educating cattle producers about the best practices in animal care to assure consumers that meat and milk come from animals that receive optimal care throughout their lives.

FDA to begin testing for glyphosate residues
Recently, the Food & Drug Administration developed streamlined methods to test for glyphosate. The agency is now preparing plans for fiscal 2016 to measure glyphosate in soybeans, corn, milk and eggs, among other potential foods, according to FDA spokesperson Jason Strachman Miller.
"The FDA has not routinely looked for glyphosate in its pesticide chemical residue monitoring regulatory program in the past for several reasons, including that available methods for detecting glyphosate were selective residue methods that would have been very cost and labor intensive to implement in FDA field labs," Strachman Miller said.
Also, glyphosate levels, if present in genetically engineered corn and soybeans, are likely to be reduced by the processing done to those foods, he added.

APHIS seeks comments on biotech regulation
The U.S. Department of Agriculture published a notice of intent in the Federal Register indicating plans to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on the introduction of biotechnology products. The goal of the notice is to identify "reasonable alternatives and potential issues to be evaluated in the environmental impact statement" as well as to redefine the term "biotechnology."
This is the first step in beginning USDA's overhaul of its biotech regulations, since its current processes were developed more than 30 years ago. USDA's Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) hopes to accelerate the development of new crop traits considered to be of little risk to the environment as well as determine regulatory requirements for specific new breeding techniques, such as gene editing.

President's FY 17 NIFA Budget Request Overview
If you missed the Feb. 9 teleconference with NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy presenting the overview of the President's proposed FY 17 NIFA Budget, the recording and transcript are now available on NIFA's website.
The President's budget proposes doubling funding for the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI), minor increases in funding for some programs, and sustained funding for others. NIFA uses these funds to deploy research that underpins transformative discoveries needed to solve challenges to our nation's nutritional security, including diminishing land and water resources, changing climate, and the need for environmental stewardship, in the context of the burgeoning population.
Here are 15+ reasons to attend the Large Dairy Herd Management Conference...where 96 topics will be presented in 15 sections (section chairs noted). Each presentation will be made twice, to maximize the opportunity for attendee input.

William (Bill) Chalupa, PhD
Dec. 11, 1937 - Jan. 25, 2016
It is with sadness that we note the death of William (Bill) Chalupa, PhD, this past January. Bill was a retired professor from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine. Bill was a graduate of Rutgers University, College of Agriculture (BS, MS, and PhD) in Ruminant Nutrition. His first faculty position was with Clemson University in the Dairy Science Department from which he did a sabbatical leave at the USDA Ruminant Laboratory in Beltsville before joining Smith-Kline Pharmaceutical as Manager of Rumen Metabolic Research in West Chester, PA at the Applebrook facility. In 1975 he joined Dr. David Kronfeld, Dr. Charles Ramberg, and Dr. Cliff Baile in the Section of Nutrition at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine. This was a unique group of research scientists for a veterinary institution. Their focus was on animal health and production and delivery of current nutritional concepts to nutritionists and producers through development of ration formulation software. Bill retired from Penn in 2005 after 30 years of service.
Bill made important contributions in ruminant nutrition in the areas of nitrogen metabolism, the influence of ionophores on rumen fermentation, use of by-pass fats in ruminant diets, and production responses to bovine somatotropin. Bill was an early proponent of the application of more dynamic ration formulation programs to account for rumen fermentation of feedstuffs. With Drs. Danny Fox, Charlie Sniffen and Ray Boston, he was instrumental in taking concepts in the Cornell Net Carbohydrate Protein System and developing a usable ration formulation program for use in the field, CPMDairy. With his collaborators Bill moved ration formulation programs from static models to more dynamic models. He devoted time and energy to training nutritionists worldwide in these concepts. A major contribution of his legacy is the growth of dynamic ration models that are used today in the field. Bill was a solid scientist, excellent teacher, and a mentor and many in the nutrition community have benefited from his efforts.
Bill was recognized with numerous professional awards including the ADSA American Feed Industry Association Award in 1981 and in 2003 with the George Hammell Cook Distinguished Alumni Award of Rutgers University, but his lasting award is the use of dynamic ration models, which have advanced the art and science of ration formulation throughout the world. Bill is survived by his wife of 55 years, Barbara, and his daughter, Judy and her husband Michael, his son Chip and his wife Sondra, and five grandchildren.
