Barry Bradford discusses alternative technologies to digesters to help get small-medium sized dairies to net zero. Options include manure solids separation, efficient cropping program, bedded pack management.

The #WCDS2024 Transition Management Session covered the interaction between peripartum nutrition/health/repro and using dry period data to improve lactation. Thank you José Santos and Barry Bradford! Barry Bradford #dairy #Cdndairy

New research from Dr. Barry Bradford Barry Bradford suggests that managing for shorter (40-50 days) dry periods may be possible. Read more here: ow.ly/PcNs50SRe2L

A MSU AgBioResearch and honorary Spartans reunion in Australia for the Feedworks Pty Ltd conference in Australia. So great to catch up with friends and some of the greatest minds in ruminant nutrition 🐮

For decades, research & conventional management have pointed to 60 days as the standard for dry period length. But Barry Bradford at MSU CANR sought to challenge this standard, armed w/ #JournalofDairyScience study findings (doi.org/10.3168/jds.20…). dairyherd.com/news/dairy-pro…
