Surround sound needed to grow dairy exports
A circular sound system in the form of industry collaboration is needed to grow domestic and global dairy product demand, or else the U.S. dairy industry is not going to be successful, according to Tom Gallagher, chief executive officer of Dairy Management Inc.
Gallagher pointed out that the world population is currently at 7 billion people, 330 million of whom are in the U.S. By 2050, the population will grow to 10 billion people, and 350 million of them will live in U.S.
"While there are opportunities to grow consumption, particularly cheese, in the U.S., our growth is going to come in Southeast Asia, Africa the MENA [Middle East and North Africa] countries," he said, adding that the current trade endeavors of the U.S. are really important. "Even though they are hurtful right now, they are important to us."

Consumers not confused by milk alternatives
On Thursday, the comment period closed for the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's consideration of a proposal "to provide greater clarity on appropriate labeling of plant-based alternatives" to milk and dairy products. A new survey by the International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation shows a low level of consumer confusion between the two.
Many dairy products, such as milk, yogurt and certain cheeses, have standards of identity established by regulation, which require certain components and ingredients in these foods. Names such as "milk," "yogurt" and "cheddar cheese" have long been recognized by the American public as identifying the dairy foods described in the standards. More recently, these names have appeared in the labeling of plant-based products as part of the name of the product. Some examples include "soy milk," "almond milk" and "vegan mozzarella cheese."

Clay supplements improve cows' immune response to aflatoxin
In the fight against aflatoxin, dairy producers often turn to sequestering agents such as clay to reduce transference of the toxin into milk. It's an effective tactic, but a new study from the University of Illinois shows that clay has additional benefits for overall cow health.
"There has been a good amount of research showing the effect of clay supplements on milk quality and performance, but we took it a step further to look at how clay can help the cow's immune system," explained Russell Pate, doctoral student in the University of Illinois department of animal sciences and lead author on the study.

Research stations across U.S. offer public STEM education
The general public and scientists are finding common ground at hundreds of biological field research stations across the nation, according to a Texas A&M University and Colorado State University study.
In addition to offering logistical and research support to scientists doing field work, biological field stations provide informal science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning opportunities to the general public, said Dr. Rhonda Struminger, assistant professor of the practice at Texas A&M in College Station, Texas.

ADSA Raises Concerns Over USDA Plans
USDA's planned reorganization, which would move the Economic Research Service (ERS) from the Research, Education, Economics (REE) mission area to be located under the office of the Chief Economist and move most staff for ERS and the National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) out of the Washington DC area, continues to raise concerns. Recently 56 former USDA and federal statistical agency officials, including former deputy and undersecretaries, have
written to Congress
to warn of the damage the plans are likely to cause to US agriculture and farming and urge the proposed plans be abandoned. This past week ADSA joined 45 other science based organization in a coalition letter to leaders of the House and Senate Ag Appropriations committees urging them to communicate to USDA that any action related to any part of the planned reorganization of USDA ERS or NIFA should be delayed until a new Appropriations bill is passed. A copy of this letter as well as past coalition letters that ADSA has joined may be seen on the
Advocacy area
of the website.
