Welcome to this week's newsletter
Editorial: Time Running Out, but No End in Sight
We have 4 new features this week: US Beef and Dairy Outlook By USDA, Economic Research Service - This article is an extract from the June 2009 issue of Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook Report. Defining Forage Quality Forages are a major asset of any livestock operation and the foundation of most rations in a forage-based livestock diet, says Yoana C. Newman, Adegbola T. Adesogan, Joao Vendramini and Lynn Sollenberger, University of Florida IFAS Extension. Dairy Profitability 101: Milk Quality and Feed Efficiency In very simple terms, dairy profitability can be defined as the difference between milk prices and the cost of production, multiplied by the pounds of milk produced. Thus, milk prices, the cost of production, and the pounds of milk produced are the three critical components for dairy profitability, writes Alvaro Garcia, DVM, Department of Dairy Science, South Dakota State University. Pasteurising Milk and Colostrum Professional heifer growers and dairy producers are faced with the challenge of raising healthy calves while still paying close attention to rearing costs and profit, writes Sandra Godden DVM DVSc, Department of Veterinary Population Medicine, University of Minnesota.
