Vilsack to take ag’s voice to COP26
The United Nations’ climate change conference – COP26 – kicks off on Oct. 31 in Glasgow, Scotland. The conference brings together the nearly 200 countries that have signed onto the United Nation’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the Biden administration will be looking to put the United States back into a leadership position on the climate front.

Why do consumers accept or reject ag technology?
Farmers are continuously striving to produce more food to feed the world while increasing sustainability. Ag technology is an important piece in that puzzle.
However, consumers must buy in to new technology for it to become part of the solution.

Fighting bovine respiratory disease with new ally
Poor health, viruses, and environmental stress can leave young calves susceptible to secondary bacterial infections that cause bovine respiratory disease (BRD). These severe infections commonly result in pneumonia, and treatments can be costly.
To identify unique proteins that can be used for future interventions against this disease in cattle, scientists at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), took a closer look at the genetic material of multiple subtypes (strains) of three groups of bacterial species commonly implicated with BRD.

ADSA 2022 will be an in-person meeting!
Again in 2022: Platform Sessions. In a platform session, an invited speaker leads off a themed or topical oral session with a 30- or 45-minute talk, which is then followed by submitted abstract talks. This oral session type can result in higher levels of engagement of oral session submitters and presenters, while disseminating the most current research. Platform sessions provide a third oral session option, somewhere between a symposium and a general oral session. When submitting your abstract(s), be sure to look for platform sessions that may incorporate your research.
The deadline for abstract submission is February 17, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. (CST).
The 2022 ADSA Annual Meeting website will be updated frequently with the latest meeting information, so bookmark the site and visit often. Housing will open in November 2021, and meeting registration will be available in early February 2022. (https://www.adsa.org/Meetings/2022-Annual-Meeting
The 2022 ADSA Annual Meeting scientific program will feature 1,200 oral and poster presentations from around the globe. Make sure yours is included, as 2,000 scientists from 50 countries meet virtually and in-person in vibrant Kansas City, Missouri. Benefit from symposia, workshops, and preconference events presented by the world’s leading animal and dairy scientists. Topics will include dairy food science, dairy production, animal health and well-being, animal and human nutrition, food safety, and production and management. As always, the success of the ADSA Annual Meeting begins with the quality of the science presented—we look forward to your contributions to this global gathering of animal and dairy scientists.

“Managing the dairy cow around the time of calving”
Dairy cows are typically group housed, give birth in close proximity of other cows and are moved many times in the peri-parturient period. This management poses a risk for cow welfare. However, knowledge of dairy cows’ natural behavior and preferences can improve calving management. Dairy cows also typically have their calf removed shortly after birth. The welfare benefits of cow-calf contact, and the challenges when the two has to be separated eventually, will be discussed.
By: Dr. Margit Bak Jensen, Professor, Aarhus University
Date: November 3, 2021
Time: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time
Webinars are geared toward dairy farmers, veterinarians, consultants, industry, Extension/academia, and government representatives interested in many aspects of dairy cattle welfare. Professional, undergraduate, and graduate students are strongly encouraged to participate. Continuing Education Credit is awarded on an hour per hour basis. Contact DCWCouncil@gmail.com after your participation to request Veterinary CE documentation.
