One of the highlights for us at the 2010 World Dairy Expo was sponsoring and attending Dr. Mike Hutjens’ seminar “Managing Feed Costs 2010.” The recently retired University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign professor discussed strategies for evaluating forage inputs, building rations for optimal performance in high-producing cows, and determining nutrient levels and forms. We were also honored to establish the “Michael F. Hutjens BASF Graduate Student Travel Awards” scholarship fund at the seminar to mark his service to the dairy industry.
World Dairy Expo recorded and posted the seminar online:
