The Large Dairy Herd Management e-Book and Conference Update

By Ken Olson Ph.D., PAS


Mike Socha, Dave Beede and Larry Miller provided an update on the Large Dairy Herd Management Conference and e-book.  The objectives are to:
  • Assimilate and present the latest science and state of the art practices about dairy production and management
  • Look to future industry trends
Phase one of the project was the conference held May 1 to 4, 2016, in Oakbrook, IL.  Sessions were recorded and the 94 recordings are available from ADSA.  As a result of discussion at the conference chapters are being added on:
  • Dairy Beef Systems
  • Transition cow facilities
  • Current and Emerging Reproductive technology for Genetic Improvement
  • Parasite control in dairy cattle
The book will be sold as a full copy with differential pricing for students, members and non-members.  The anticipated release will be in early 2017. Sponsorship opportunities are still available.  Details are available from Larry Miller.


Scientific community told to step to plate, solve challenge ahead
By Sarah Muirhead
 
Today's animal and dairy science communities have both an opportunity and challenge before them. The opportunity is that of a growing demand for food. The challenge is that of a decreasing food supply.



Over the course of the next decade, three million people will move out of poverty and into the middle class. As they do, they will demand 60% more milk, meat and eggs, according to Dr. Todd Armstrong of Elanco Animal Health, who spoke at the AnimalX Ted-style Talks during the 2016 JAM opening session in Salt Lake City, Utah.



Adding to that, by 2050, there will be over 9 billion people on the planet that will have to be fed. This comes during a time when 20% of the world's livestock is being lost each year; a loss that represents some 60 million tons of meat and 150 million tons of milk. "The fundamental fact is you can take away the tool but you can't take away the disease," Armstrong said.


"I look out on this room and what I see is a group of people that have the expertise, the drive and a passion deep inside to take care of this situation." Armstrong told the group it is time to put down the barriers and biases, and apply mutual expertise to find the needed solutions. "The world is counting on you. The world is counting on you to look at this problem that is in front of us."
