Joining us is Kristin Gallagher from Michigan State University discussing her research on branched-chain amino and keto acids. 

Associations of pen-level and herd-level management factors with biomarkers, health, milk-yield and reproduction. Associations of nutritional strategies with biomarkers, health, milk yield and reproduction. 

Joining us is Dr. Tom Overton from Cornell University discussing research on management factors and nutritional strategies. 

Linking amino acids to milk fat synthesis. 

Joining us are Yumi C.T. Taguti from Virginia Tech University and Izabelle Teixeira from the University of Idaho to discuss linking amino acids to milk fat synthesis.
