She was formerly with the USDA-ARS U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center in Wisconsin. Her program “Manure Evaluation for Reading Your Cows: It Doesn’t Just Happen,” will focus on what we see when we walk herds, we see manure. Did you ever consider that the way manure looks and what is in it could tell you about how the cows are working with their diets? In this presentation She’ll discuss how rumen and gut function can change manure characteristics, what those changes look like, and how evaluation of manure, feeds, diets, cow performance, and management can be brought together to look for ways to improve herd performance.
