Episode 355 - How Breed (Holstein and Crossbred) Influences Heifer Feed Intake and Emissions- UMN Extension's The Moos Room
<p>Brad shares preliminary results from a University of Minnesota study examining feed intake, methane emissions, and feeding behavior in Holstein and crossbred dairy heifers. Using precision feeders, methane-monitoring equipment, and activity sensors, the research team compared Holsteins with ProCROSS and GrazeCross heifers.</p><p>The early findings show that methane production generally increased with feed intake. Smaller GrazeCross heifers consumed less feed and produced less methane and carbon dioxide, while ProCROSS heifers had the highest feed intake. However, methane produced per unit of dry matter intake did not differ significantly among the breed groups.</p><p>Brad also discusses how often heifers visited the feed bunk, how much time they spent eating, and what sensor data revealed about rumination and activity. These preliminary results highlight how body size, breed, and feeding behavior may influence heifer management and environmental efficiency.</p><p>Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!</p><p>Linkedin -> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-moos-room/">The Moos Room</a><br>Twitter -> <a href="https://twitter.com/UMNmoosroom">@UMNmoosroom</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/UMNFarmSafety">@UMNFarmSafety</a><br>Facebook -> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/UMNDairy">@UMNDairy</a><br>YouTube -> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgB9p57ty2gaYLAQ7FXtOeA">UMN Beef and Dairy</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUotkoe0qAEnbNm4XwHirA">UMN Farm Safety and Health</a><br>Instagram -> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umnwcrocdairy/?hl=en">@UMNWCROCDairy</a><br><a href="https://extension.umn.edu/">Extension Website</a><br><a href="https://www.agriamerica.com/podcasts">AgriAmerica Podcast Directory</a> </p>

Episode 354 - Hot Calves, Lower Gains: Rethinking Summer Calf Care - UMN Extension's The Moos Room
<p>Brad takes a closer look at heat stress in dairy calves and cows. This episode highlights several recent studies on how temperature-humidity index affects calf behavior, lying time, respiration rates, shade use, and growth performance.</p><p>Brad discusses research from the University of Guelph, The Ohio State University, and Mississippi State showing that heat-stressed calves spend less time lying down, stand more often, breathe harder, and may gain less weight when shade is not provided. He also reviews a Texas A&M study using precision livestock technology to monitor drinking behavior, rumen temperature, and heat stress responses in robotic milking herds.</p><p>The big takeaway: heat stress in calves deserves more attention. Simple strategies like shade cloth, better ventilation, and more thoughtful housing design may help improve calf comfort, growth, and long-term performance.</p><p><br>Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!</p><p>Linkedin -> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-moos-room/">The Moos Room</a><br>Twitter -> <a href="https://twitter.com/UMNmoosroom">@UMNmoosroom</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/UMNFarmSafety">@UMNFarmSafety</a><br>Facebook -> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/UMNDairy">@UMNDairy</a><br>YouTube -> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgB9p57ty2gaYLAQ7FXtOeA">UMN Beef and Dairy</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUotkoe0qAEnbNm4XwHirA">UMN Farm Safety and Health</a><br>Instagram -> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umnwcrocdairy/?hl=en">@UMNWCROCDairy</a><br><a href="https://extension.umn.edu/">Extension Website</a><br><a href="https://www.agriamerica.com/podcasts">AgriAmerica Podcast Directory</a> </p>

Episode 353 - Calf Research Roundup: Colostrum, Beef-on-Dairy, and Weaning Insights - UMN Extension's The Moos Room
<p>Back from the ADSA annual meeting in Milwaukee, Brad shares highlights from several calf-focused dairy studies. This episode covers new research on colostrum management for beef-on-dairy crossbred calves, including how feeding practices differ between retained dairy heifers, beef-on-dairy calves, and calves not kept on farm.</p><p>Brad also reviews a study comparing fixed-age weaning with starter-intake-based weaning in Holstein and Angus-Holstein calves, plus new work using ear tag sensors to track calf behavior, rumination, eating, and activity through 150 days of age. The episode wraps up with research from the University of Florida on colostrum yield, quality, and genetics, including how season, parity, calf sex, gestation length, and days dry can influence colostrum outcomes.</p><p>Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!</p><p>Linkedin -> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-moos-room/">The Moos Room</a><br>Twitter -> <a href="https://twitter.com/UMNmoosroom">@UMNmoosroom</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/UMNFarmSafety">@UMNFarmSafety</a><br>Facebook -> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/UMNDairy">@UMNDairy</a><br>YouTube -> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgB9p57ty2gaYLAQ7FXtOeA">UMN Beef and Dairy</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUotkoe0qAEnbNm4XwHirA">UMN Farm Safety and Health</a><br>Instagram -> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umnwcrocdairy/?hl=en">@UMNWCROCDairy</a><br><a href="https://extension.umn.edu/">Extension Website</a><br><a href="https://www.agriamerica.com/podcasts">AgriAmerica Podcast Directory</a> </p>
