In this episode of The Dairy Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Addison Carroll from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln shares insights from her research on among-animal variation in energy utilization in dairy cattle. She discusses how factors like genetics and nutrition influence energy efficiency in lactating cows and the impact on overall farm productivity and sustainability. Listen now!
"Methane energy at first was high among animal variance by itself, but then it became even higher when we removed the influence of dry matter intake."
Meet the guest: Dr. Addison Carroll holds a Ph.D. in Ruminant Nutrition and is currently the Research Coordinator at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her research focuses on improving energy utilization in dairy cattle to enhance both production efficiency and sustainability. She also earned her M.S. in Ruminant Nutrition from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and her B.S. in Animal Science from Northwest Missouri State University.
