The Dairy Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast exists to make peer-reviewed dairy nutrition research accessible and actionable. Every episode takes recent science — on dairy cow nutrition, feed efficiency, forage and corn silage quality, byproduct feeds, feed additives and ruminant gut health — and distills it into clear insight for producers, nutritionists and researchers.
Our goal is simple: help busy dairy industry professionals stay current with the science without spending hours reading journals, and turn that research into better decisions on the farm.
Experienced dairy nutritionists and researchers who read the science so you don't have to.
PhD in Dairy Science (University of Wisconsin–Madison). His work focuses on applied dairy nutrition with emphasis on starch and fiber utilization, corn silage quality, byproduct feeds and feed additives for lactating cows.
PhD in Microbiology (Cornell University). Award-winning researcher focusing on how gut microbiota influences cattle nutrition, food safety and production efficiency, with 18 years of experience at USDA-ARS.
