Discover the Four State Dairy Nutrition Difference
The Four-State Dairy Nutrition & Management Conference webinar series continues on Wednesday, August 13 will feature Dr. Alycia Bales with Caledonia Farmers Elevator in Caledonia, MI reviewing the use of high oleic soybeans in dairy rations.
Dr. Alycia Bales is the Animal Nutrition Technical Support representative for Caledonia Farmers Elevator (CFE) located in Caledonia, Michigan. She works with a team of ruminant nutritionists where she helps to be a bridge between applied research and on-farm practical solutions. Alycia received her B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Michigan State University where her graduate work concentrated on dairy cattle nutrition with a focus on fatty acid supplementation. During her Ph.D., Alycia ran several studies that investigated the utilization of high oleic acid soybeans and the impact of this soybean on milk production responses. Since joining the CFE team in the Spring of 2024, she has been part of the effort to help dairy producers adopt the idea of including high oleic soybeans into dairy rations.
Producers, dairy consultants and industry reps are encouraged to attend the free webinar live from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 13 by registering at least one hour before the webinar at:
