Dairy Streamlet: Genomic study proves profitability, methane reduction
Manage episode 376075778 series 2900335
The Dairy Streamlet is a new, condensed version of Dairy Stream that takes the long episode and covers just the high-level points of the conversation. If this topic interests you, we encourage you to listen to the full episode on September 6.
Dairy Stream host Joanna Guza talks with project leaders Lauren Brey and Dr. Dan Weigel about a collaborative project focusing on how genetic improvement correlates to not only lifetime profitability but reductions in methane intensity, antibiotic usage and feed use on the farm.
Special thanks to Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative for sponsoring this episode.
