The Monthly Call Will Be Held on Wednesday, June 10th at 1 pm
The Center for Dairy Excellence’s “All Things Dairy” bi-monthly conference call aims to provide a platform for organizations and industry partners to share timely updates, resources, programs, and upcoming events relevant to the dairy community. The next call is scheduled for Wednesday, June 10 at 1 p.m. EST. Kasey Hower, Emily Fread, and Angela Breneman, three Dairy Educators from Penn State Extension, will share insight to help dairy producers navigate the summer heat and the impact it can have on their herd.
“Every dairy farmer recognizes the problems with heat stress: reduced milk production, a drop in dry matter intake, and panting cows. We thought heat stress was a timely conversation for this month’s call and could help dairy producers walk away with some new insight, tools, and tips to help protect their herds this summer,” shared Valerie Mason-Faith, Risk Education Manager at the Center for Dairy Excellence.
During the June 10th call, the panelists will share:
- Heat abatement strategies. Learn strategies for keeping cows cool and minimizing the impact of heat stress, including: air exchange, airflow, water, frequent monitoring of your herd, and more.
- Tips for feeding through the summer. Heat stress can often lead to depressed dry matter intake and rumination, so the panelists will share tips and tricks you can implement when feeding your cows this summer.
- How to use various tools to help maintain production through heat stress. They will share which tools can help protect your herd against the risks of heat stress and maintain milk production during hot summer months.
Individuals who join the conference call on June 10 will be able to ask real-time questions to each panelist. Learn more about how to join the conference call on June 10
