Dr. Normand St-Pierre, professor of animal sciences at The Ohio State University, headlined a seminar earlier this month at the World Dairy Expo about “Managing Your Margins: Practical Ways to Reduce Feed Costs and Increase Milk Price.”
The folks at the World Dairy Expo were kind enough to post videos of their seminars online, and you can watch Dr. St-Pierre give his tips in this video.

Here are a few of our favorite photos taken this week.

Dr. Normand St-Pierre, professor of animal sciences at The Ohio State University, will be talking about various strategies and tactics to help a dairy producer’s bottom line.

We’re excited to once again be a sponsor of the University of Wisconsin at Madison’s Badger Dairy Club cheese stand here at the World Dairy Expo.
All week long students from the Badger Dairy Club will be serving up delicious cheese sandwiches and milkshakes for Expo attendees, and you can find their tent between the Coliseum and the Arena Building. Plus, this year they’re rolling out their new ham and cheese sandwich!
Stop by our booth, Arena 450, to talk to one of our NutriDense representatives and you might just receive a voucher good for a free cheese sandwich and milkshake from the cheese stand!
We’re big fans of the Badger Dairy Club’s cheese stand, but if you’re on the fence about trying it yourself then watch our very own Courtney Beck as she gives us a video taste test from last year’s World Dairy Expo!

What are the economic impacts of an improvement in feed efficiency (FE)? We recently debuted a new calculator tool on www.nutridense.com to help answer that question.
Through the NutriDense Silage Calculator, producers, nutritionists and consultants can plug in their own data to quickly evaluate the potential value that an improvement in FE may bring to a dairy operation.
The calculator compares NutriDense Silage with dual purpose and brown midrib hybrids in various categories such as dry matter intake, FE, income over feed costs and more.
Check out the NutriDense Silage Calculator today, then contact your local NutriDense Silage seed company to learn more about NutriDense Silage.
