DAIRY NUTRITION WITH EMPHASIS ON WHOLE FARM NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT AND FORAGES.

Specific Research Areas:
  • Decision-aid tools for Feed Management and Adoption of Anaerobic Digester Technology
  • Determination of nutrient management factors limiting profitability and impacting the environment
  • Characterization of the role of potassium carbonate on milk fatty composition
  • Evaluation of the amino acid requirements of primiparous and multiparous cows in early lactation for enhanced profitability and reduced environmental impact.
  • Evaluation of crop rotations for profitability and environmental stewardship.
  • Characterization of nutrient management of high producing herds
