Hello there!

In this episode of The Dairy Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Kirby Krogstad brings fresh insights into integrating health, nutrition, and sustainability in dairy farming. Dr. Krogstad discusses acidosis and systemic inflammation—key areas significantly impacting dairy production. He shares valuable findings from recent research, and practical solutions for managing these conditions effectively. Tune in on major platforms for this deep exploration of dairy health challenges.

"If acute phase proteins circulate widely, they impact other tissues and the entire animal's biology, emphasizing the significance of managing systemic inflammation comprehensively."

Meet the guest: Dr. Kirby Krogstad, an Assistant Professor of Dairy Nutrition and Health at Ohio State University, specializes in improving dairy cow health through advanced nutritional strategies. His research focuses on gut physiology and inflammation, exploring how diet affects dairy cattle's immune response and sustainability.
