The SLICK haplotype, originally identified in Senepol cattle, has been introduced into Holsteins. Inheritance of the SLICK1 allele of the prolactin receptor gene improves thermotolerance of lactating Holstein cows under humid heat stress conditions. Dr. Anna Denicol of the University of California-Davis, along with her research group, recently published a study on whether pre- and postweaning Holstein heifers carrying the SLICK1 allele would show physiological responses indicative of higher ...
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps energy far more efficiently than carbon dioxide. Reduction of methane emissions is thus essential to slowing climate change, and livestock are a major source of these emissions. Dr. Phil Cardoso talks with Dr. Alex Hristov of Penn State University about nutritional strategies for mitigating production of methane by dairy cattle. They discuss the effectiveness of several different feed additives at reducing methane emissions and their effects on DM...
Dr. Phil Cardoso talks with Dr. Peter Erickson and Tess Stahl of the University of New Hampshire about the effects of feeding diets containing supplementary sodium butyrate and monensin on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and health in postweaned heifers. Links to papers mentioned in this episode Stahl TC, Hatungimana E, Klanderman KD, Moreland SC, Erickson PS. 2020. Sodium butyrate and monensin supplementation to postweaning heifer diets: Effects on growth performance, nut...
Dr. Phil Cardoso talks with Dr. Kate Creutzinger of the University of Guelph and Dr. Katy Proudfoot of the University of Prince Edward Island about the effects of prepartum stocking density and a blind on physiological biomarkers, health, and hygiene of transition Holstein dairy cows. Links to papers mentioned in this episode Creutzinger et al. 2020, Effects of prepartum stocking density and a blind on physiological biomarkers, health, and hygiene of transition Holstein dairy cows.

Dr. Phil Cardoso and Dr. Adam Lock of Michigan State University discuss Dr. Lock’s recent study on the effect of supplementing two major fatty acids, palmitic and oleic acid, in different ratios on milk production in high-, medium- and low-producing cows. Links to papers mentioned in this episode Western et al. 2020, Milk production responses to altering the dietary ratio of palmitic and oleic acids varies with production level in dairy cows.

Dr. Phil Cardoso and Dr. Jim Drackley of the University of Illinois and Dr. Bruce Richards of Delaware Valley University discuss their recent paper comparing prepartum low-energy or high-energy diets with a 2-diet far-off and close-up strategy for multiparous and primiparous cows. Links to papers mentioned in this episode Richards et al. 2020, Comparison of prepartum low-energy or high-energy diets with a 2-diet far-off and close-up strategy for multiparous and primiparous cows. DOI: 10.316...
Dr. Bill Weiss and Alex Tebbe of the Department of Animal Sciences at The Ohio State University join Dr. Phil Cardoso of the University of Illinois to discuss their recent paper about the effects of oscillating dietary crude protein concentrations on production, nutrient digestion, plasma metabolites, and body composition in lactating dairy cows. Links to papers mentioned in this episode Tebbe and Weiss 2020, Effects of oscillating dietary crude protein concentrations on production, nutrien...
