ADSA® asks, Do You Know JDS?
Here are a few details about one of our most visible member benefits.
The Journal of Dairy Science® (JDS), the official journal of the American Dairy Science Association®, is the leading peer-reviewed general dairy research journal in the world. Electronic access to JDS is included as a standard part of ADSA membership. JDS readers represent education, industry, and government agencies in more than 70 countries with interests in biochemistry, breeding, economics, engineering, environment, food science, genetics, microbiology, nutrition, pathology, physiology, processing, public health, quality assurance, and sanitation.
Now completing the 104th year of publication, the JDS, an official journal of the American Dairy Science Association®, is co-published by Elsevier and Fass Inc.It is the leading general dairy research journal in the world. JDS readers represent education, industry, and government agencies in more than 70 countries, with interests in biochemistry, breeding, economics, engineering, environment, food science, genetics, microbiology, nutrition, pathology, physiology, processing, public health, quality assurance, and sanitation. JDS has a 2020 Journal Impact Factor of 4.034 and five-year Journal Impact Factor of 4.354 according to Journal Citation Reports (Source: Clarivate 2021). www.journalofdairyscience.org
One of our exciting developments is that the Journal of Dairy Science® (JDS) will become a gold open access (OA) journal with the January 2022 issue. This means that authors who publish in JDS can make their work immediately, permanently, and freely accessible worldwide. JDS authors will pay an article publishing charge (APC), have a choice of license options, and retain copyright to their published work. This change is very beneficial to authors because OA provides readers free and immediate access to scientific research and enables our authors greater opportunity to disseminate their work to the benefit of the academic community and the dairy industry. To assist authors, readers, and ADSA members with questions they might have, please see our FAQ, please see our FAQ. If there are questions the FAQ has not answered, please contact us at jds@adsa.org .There is a transition period, but for papers submitted February 1, 2022, or later, the APC for ADSA professional members will be $1600 while the full APC rate for non-members will be $3500…a saving of $1,900 for being an ADSA member.
JDS participates in the AGORA (Access to Global Online Research in Agriculture) program of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. By participating in AGORA, the Journal of Dairy Science® is available, free of charge, to institutions in all Band I countries (countries defined by the World Bank as having a gross national product of up to $1,000, per capita, in 2001). The AGORA program, set up by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) together with major publishers, enables developing countries to gain access to an outstanding digital library collection in the fields of food, agriculture, environmental science and related social sciences.

Serotonin found to be an important factor in calcium homeostasis in dairy cows
A new review in the Journal of Dairy Science® explores the role of serotonin during the peripartum period and its relationship with calcium Maternal physiology of dairy cows shifts at the onset of lactation to adapt to the immense nutrient demands by the mammary gland, resulting in altered tissue metabolism. Research over the last decade has focused on understanding the shift in calcium metabolism, with an emphasis on the relationship of serotonin with calcium during the transition period and lactation. In a new review in the December issue of the Journal of Dairy Science® researchers examine the current knowledge on calcium metabolism, mammary calcium transport, serotonin metabolism, and the serotonin-calcium axis.
This review by scientists from the Department of Animal and Dairy Sciences, University of Wisconsin, Madison (USA), focuses on dairy cows during the period just before, during, and after giving birth. “Due to the rapid and robust demand for calcium at the onset of lactation by the mammary gland, a dynamic change in calcium metabolism ensues as the mammary gland’s demand for calcium in the blood and extracellular pools outpaces the rate at which pools can be maintained,” said first author Meghan K. Connelly, PhD student. MORE
