The upcoming Beef on Dairy dialogue webinar series, hosted by I-29 Moo University, is set for October 28, 2023, from noon to 1 p.m. This session will feature Ingrid Fernandes, a graduate research assistant in the Department of Animal Science at Pennsylvania State University. She will present findings from her study that tracks BXD cattle from weaning to slaughter, focusing on the impact of early-life respiratory disease on performance and carcass value.
Fernandes’ research highlights the long-term effects of bovine respiratory disease, indicating that the implications extend beyond the initial illness, which is crucial for both animal health and the profitability of the industry. With her expertise in ruminant nutrition, calf health, and livestock production systems, Fernandes brings valuable insights to the field.
Participants can join the webinar free of charge, but prior registration is necessary. Interested individuals must register at least one hour before the event through the following link: https://go.iastate.edu/BOVINERESPIRATORY.
This webinar serves as an important opportunity for stakeholders in the beef and dairy sectors to gain a deeper understanding of respiratory diseases in cattle and their significant consequences on production outcomes. By addressing these issues, the dialogue aims to enhance overall practices within the industry.
As the event approaches, attendees are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to engage with leading research and discussion on critical animal health topics.
