STgenetics® recently had a study published in the Journal of Dairy Science with the University of California Davis titled “Improving Feed Efficiency With the EcoFeed® Index, reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Dairy Cattle.” Jocelyn Johnson joins us to explain the process behind this study, diving into the multi-year path of building a reference population and publishing/validating genomic evaluations for heifers and cows to demonstrating reduced feed intake without sacrificing productivity and confirming methane benefits. The incredible results from this study indicate a 1 SD EcoFeed® improvement was associated with about $200 in lifetime feed cost savings and just under one ton of reduced carbon per cow. Jocelyn takes these results further and explains how her team is helping producers communicate this message and so much more!
