With constantly changing regulations, sustainability is becoming a greater focus in the dairy industry. That’s why savvy farmers are doing everything they can to stay ahead of the curve and hit this moving target. Dairy producer Katie Martin, from Darlington Ridge Farms, shares how she promotes sustainable practices on her operation and how genomic testing supports those sustainability goals. We’ll hear from Principal Scientist with Zoetis Precision Animal Health Brenda Fessenden as she goes through results from a 2022 on-farm study that reveals the impact of genetics on animal health metrics, methane emissions, and operational profitability. Together Katie and Brenda sift through the data and show how farmers can use genomic testing to select cows that will help give them more sustainable and profitable farms. So, pull up a chair for another episode of Clarity at Work.
