Event Program
U.S. Dairy has rallied around a public commitment to achieve carbon neutrality, optimize water usage, and improve water quality by 2050. How precisely do genetics impact sustainability goals? Beyond productivity and efficiency, what other aspects of sustainability – like lower methane – can be addressed through genetics? How can we support dairy buyers on their sustainability journey? What do producers expect to improve sustainability at the farm level? What data do we need to demonstrate the genetic impact on sustainability? How can we elevate appreciation for the impact of genetic selection?
At the same time, consumers have elevated expectations around animal health and care. How do CDCB evaluations directly support improved animal wellness? What’s the progress on R&D toward traits for other health events, including lameness?
These opportunities will be explored through a thought-provoking set of panelists and presenters, including:
- Dairy buyer panel
- Producer panel
- Connection of CDCB indices and traits with sustainability
- CDCB initiatives supporting sustainability progress
- USDA and CDCB research updates
See you in Madison!
