A testament to the quality and relevance of their work, fifteen abstracts submitted by researchers from Dairy UP have been officially accepted for presentation at the prestigious ADSA conference. This high number of accepted papers indicates the depth and breadth of the research being conducted within the program, spanning various facets of dairy production, management, and environmental sustainability, topics critical to dairy economics globally.

Dairy UP researchers are slated to play a pivotal role in a dedicated symposium focusing on production, management, and the environment. Here, they will articulate how their multidisciplinary project is actively addressing some of the most significant challenges currently facing the dairy industry. This collaborative approach highlights innovative strategies for tackling issues that resonate with dairy producers and manufacturers worldwide.

During the conference, Professor Ian Lean, a leading figure in dairy research, will deliver a key presentation emphasizing the urgent need for more accurate recording of metabolic disorders in dairy cows. He will detail how improved data collection is essential for enhancing research, developing better prevention strategies, and refining treatment protocols for critical issues such such as feed efficiency, ruminal acidosis, and lameness—all of which directly impact farm profitability.
