Dairy Webinar Series Continues with Close Look at Corn Silage on Dec. 3

The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Dairy Team monthly webinar series continues Tuesday, Dec. 3, from 12 noon to 1 p.m. The program “What does this season’s corn silage look like?” features a presentation by Neal Wininger, feed and forage consultant with Dairyland Labs, Arcadia, Wisconsin.

Wininger will discuss what the lab analysis from this year's corn silage samples are telling him about the quality of the crop and what producers can anticipate about how it will convert into milk in the tank.

Producers, dairy consultants and industry representatives can attend the webinar by registering online. There is no registration fee; however, registration must be done at least one hour prior to the program to receive the URL.

Video: Research in Action | Swine Cluster 4 - Activity 8: Precision Feeding with Dr. Aline Remus


Research in Action is a video series from Swine Innovation Porc that highlights the people and projects driving innovation in Canada's pork sector.

In this episode, Dr. Aline Remus (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) explains how precision feeding is helping producers improve efficiency, reduce feed costs and lower environmental impacts while supporting animal health and welfare.

As part of Swine Cluster 4 - Activity 8, this research is advancing precision livestock farming by tailoring nutrition to the needs of individual pigs or groups of pigs. The project aims to reduce feed costs, decrease greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient losses, and develop practical precision feeding systems that producers can confidently adopt on-farm.

By bringing together researchers from across Canada and around the world, this work is helping transform innovative research into practical solutions for a more sustainable and competitive Canadian pork sector.
