Can Biden solve the meat industry competition woes?
More than once in recent weeks President Joe Biden has shared his quote: “Capitalism without competition is not capitalism. It’s exploitation.” His discussions in recent weeks promise he will bring lower prices to the meat case and higher prices for farmers.

EPA delays RFS compliance deadlines
In action taken January 28, the Environmental Protection Agency extended the Renewable Fuel Standard program compliance deadline for the 2019 compliance year for small refineries only, as well as extending the compliance deadline for the 2020, 2021 and 2022 compliance year for all obligated parties. The action was criticized by ethanol industry groups who say it goes against Congressional intent of the RFS.

Calf personality, feeding, and growth:
When one style doesn’t fit all
New study in the Journal of Dairy Science® finds that, in Norwegian Red calves, individual personality is related to feeding behavior and growth. In a natural setting, cows and nursing calves together set the feeding schedule for the calf, and calves wean gradually, completing weaning at varying ages. By contrast, in artificial rearing systems with minimal cow-calf contact, the weaning schedule may be strictly determined, with reductions of milk intake based solely on the calf’s age. But how well do different calves thrive under different feeding and weaning systems? The majority of research on calf personality and feeding behaviors has been performed with single-purpose dairy breeds, mainly Holsteins. In a new report published in the February 2022 issue of the Journal of Dairy Science®, an international team of researchers turned their focus on the dual-purpose Norwegian Red, bred for both dairy and meat, to examine the influence of personality and weaning method on calves’ early feeding behavior and growth.

It’s time to submit your abstract for the
2022 ADSA Annual meeting!
The abstract submission site for the 2022 ADSA Annual Meeting is open! You can now submit your abstract. Submission instructions, quality standards, answers to frequently asked questions, and student competition guidelines are available on the page. There is no abstract submission fee to submit an abstract to the ADSA Annual Meeting.
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.
REMEMBER - 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 soon, 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. Check out the full list and make plans to attend. 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.

Be a Part of the Discussion: Join us for the 42nd Discover Conference - Managing Genetic Diversity for Future Dairy and Livestock Breeding
The 42nd Discover Conference- Managing Genetic Diversity for Future Dairy and Livestock Breeding will include virtual options. It will be held April 19-21, 2022 at Northern Illinois University Naperville Conference Center Hosted by the American Dairy Science Association®.
Conference Objective
Conference Objective: Genetic diversity drives our ability to increase profitability through selection, shift selection objectives to meet new market demands, and adapt to new environments. For the past 50 years combined breeding entities have successfully made U.S. genetics globally preeminent -- increasing food security and providing marketing opportunities for U.S. breeders. With a range of new selection tools and methods to employ this is an opportune time to pause, reflect and plan how genetic diversity and inbreeding might be managed in such a way that further advances U.S. genetics for the greater good. Led by the USDA National Animal Germplasm Program, this Discover Conference is one part of a comprehensive approach to address the issue of genetic diversity. The goal of these activities is to promote a shift in how breeding, genetic improvement and genetic diversity are viewed and used in an intensive agricultural sector found in countries like the United States. Discover 42 participants, and in particular graduate students, are encouraged to submit a short abstract that describes new and innovative research findings relating to the conference program:.
Conference Topics
The call for poster abstracts is now open from the DC42 web site. “Quality Standards for Abstracts” and an “Abstract template” are there as well. Deadline to submit a title and brief abstract is 11:59 PM CDT on March 1, 2022. Abstract presentations are limited to in-person attendees and will take place in poster format on Wednesday, April 20, 2022 in Naperville, Illinois.
Who should attend: Various stakeholders in the breeding industry including breed associations, companies selling dairy and livestock genetics, companies developing and selling genomic technology, university scientists, and government agencies are all encouraged to participate. We want to extend a special invitation to dairy producers and breeders to attend this conference to lend their unique insights to the discussion. Graduate students and early career professionals are especially encouraged to attend.
The Early Registration Deadline is March 18, 2022. Registration fees increase by $100 after March 18. Click here for additional information.
