Evaluating and Feeding Roasted High Oleic Soybeans
The Four-State Dairy Nutrition & Management Conference webinar series continues on Wednesday, May 27, at 12 noon CDT with Assistant Clinical Professor of Precision Dairy Nutrition at The Pennsylvania State University Leoni Martins discussing recent research evaluating soybean processing characteristics, laboratory methods used to assess heat-treated soybeans, and the implications of processing on protein and fat nutrition in dairy cows.
Heat-treated soybeans represent a valuable feed ingredient for dairy producers, with the potential to improve on-farm feed economics. However, variation in processing conditions can substantially influence nutrient availability and feeding value.
Dr. Martin’s research and Extension programs focus on precision nutrition and its interactions with lactational performance and nutrient use efficiency in dairy cows. His goal is to advance feeding strategies that optimize nutrient delivery to cows, enhance animal performance and health, and reduce the environmental impact of dairy production.
Producers, dairy consultants and industry reps are encouraged to attend the free webinar live beginning at 12 noon to 1:30 p.m. CDT by registering on-line at least one hour before the webinar at:
