WASHINGTON — Our next monthly webinar will be Monday, August 9 at noon (Central time). Bill Weiss, a professor emeritus at The Ohio State University, will present “Estimating energy supply and requirements of dairy cows.”
Although energy is usually the first limiting nutrient, dietary energy and energy requirements are difficult to measure, and we often rely on equations developed decades ago. Revised methods to estimate energy supply and requirements will be discussed. The webinar is sponsored by QLF. To register, visit www.hoards.com/webinars.
Hoard’s Dairyman launched its free webinar series nine years ago in conjunction with the University of Illinois. These educational sessions are held the second Monday of each month and are broadcast live from noon until 1 p.m. (Central time). Attendees are encouraged to submit questions before, during, and after the webinar. They will be answered at the conclusion of the presentation.
Each hour-long webinar includes nationally known and carefully selected presenters who discuss the most timely and relevant challenges faced by today’s dairy producers. Past topics include finance, nutrition, milk quality, herd care, milk marketing, and dairy policy.
