Hello there!

In this episode of The Dairy Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Marcos Marcondes from Washington State University, discusses his study about protein requirements for gestating dairy cows, comparing different models and their implications. Leran how these findings can optimize dairy nutrition strategies. Don't miss out – tune in now and keep your knowledge up-to-date!

"We examined protein deposition in both the body and gestational components over time to determine nutrient requirements."

Meet the guest: Dr. Marcos Marcondes is a professor of dairy cattle nutrition at Washington State University. He completed his Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate in Animal Science at the Federal University of Viçosa. With a postdoctoral period at the University of Florida, Dr. Marcondes has extensive experience in dairy cattle management and nutrition. His research focuses on feed evaluation, nutrient requirements, and sustainability in dairy operations.
