Headed to the World Dairy Expo next week and hoping to learn more about feed costs?
BASF Plant Science is sponsoring the “Managing Feed Costs 2010” seminar on Thursday, Sept. 30. It starts at 1 p.m. in the Mendota 2 meeting room, located in the Exhibition Hall.
The free, 45-minute seminar will be presented by Dr. Mike Hutjens, professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2008 American Dairy Science Fellow and 2008 World Dairy Expo Industry Person of the Year. Dr. Hutjens will discuss strategies for evaluating forage inputs, building rations for optimal performance in high-producing cows, and determining nutrient levels and forms. After the seminar, he will be available to answer questions from the audience. This seminar is particularly special because Dr. Hutjens is retiring this year.
