Welcome

Welcome to our expanded coverage of the 2016 American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) Annual Meeting and the 2016 Joint Annual Meeting, both taking place this week in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Whether you are in Salt Lake City as one of the 3,000 plus participants at the meetings, or if you were unable to attend this year's meetings, we hope you will find this additional coverage valuable.

In these special editions of Dairy e-News, we will be sharing highlights from the scientific session and related activities of the past day as well as reminders of upcoming activities and sessions of special interest.

Large Dairy Herd Management (LDHM) e-Book and Conference Update

Join us on Tuesday, July 19 * 4:00 - 5:00 pm in Salt Palace Convention Center, 150 B/C

The ADSA® Foundation is in the midst of developing and publishing the Third Edition of Large Dairy Herd Management as an e-Book. The new comprehensive international reference is targeted for practicing dairy management professionals, progressive farmers, and upper division university students studying dairy science and management. It is written in a practical application style, yet reflects the scientific rigor of the J. Dairy Science. The LDHM Conference was held last May.

This session is follow-up to that conference to provide an update about the e-Book content and progress towards publication. The completely new content, designed to allow for convenient updating will be sold at ADSA member, non-member, and student rates with electronic and print-on-demand options.

Release is anticipated in Spring 2017. You can partner with The ADSA Foundation. Nonprofit organizations, companies, and individuals are invited to join as co-sponsors of the e-Book at any time. For information about sponsorship and the long-lasting worldwide recognition please contact the ADSA Foundation at LargeDairyHerdManagement@adsa.org
