USDA publishes final school meals rule
Finalizing one of his first actions as secretary, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue finalized a rule offering additional flexibilities for school nutrition standards for milk, whole grains and sodium.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture "is committed to serving meals to kids that are both nutritious and satisfying," said Perdue. "These common-sense flexibilities provide excellent customer service to our local school nutrition professionals, while giving children the world-class food service they deserve."

FDA requests labeling changes for livestock dewormers
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration announced Dec. 6 that it has requested that animal drug companies voluntarily revise the labels of drugs intended to treat certain internal parasites in livestock and horses to add information about antiparasitic resistance.
FDA said this move comes as a result of the agency's work with veterinary parasitology experts and the animal health community to find ways to maintain the effectiveness of these drugs.

'Cybertongue' to transform milk market, aid lactose-free dairy
A "cybertongue" that can rapidly detect lactose and spoiled milk, developed by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), has now been licensed to PPB Technology.
The next-generation diagnostic tool uses biological sensors to detect substances like lactose on the spot, CSIRO said, and it has potentially game-changing applications across food safety, environmental monitoring and human health.

Organizations issue joint statement on antimicrobial resistance
The American Veterinary Medical Assn. (AVMA), the Canadian Veterinary Medical Assn. (CVMA) and the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE) issued a "Joint Statement on Continuous Monitoring of Antimicrobial Use & Antimicrobial Resistance" on Dec. 6 that describes broad steps and strategies veterinarians around the world can take to preserve the effectiveness and availability of antimicrobial drugs while safeguarding animal, public and environmental health.
"Antimicrobial resistance doesn't recognize borders, so efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance need to cross borders as well," AVMA president Dr. John de Jong said. "This joint statement is an important step in recognizing ways we can work together to prevent resistance and ensure that antimicrobials continue to be used judiciously in animals."

ADSA Members - It's Time to Renew
ADSA asks "Did you know" about our varied "Member Savings"?
ADSA Professional dues are still only $110 per year
. They have not increased since 2000 and are the lowest professional dues of all animal science societies, but there are many member benefits. A well-known and frequently used one is electronic access to the Journal of Dairy Science ® (JDS®), but membership also provides a variety of other cost saving opportunities that will more than cover your investment in membership.
Meeting Registration
- Your professional membership provides savings for all ADSA related meetings you attend. Often the savings from one meeting will more than cover your investment in membership. Here are a few examples of your member savings:
Publications
- Our best known publication is "the Journal" that is included with your membership, but ADSA offers a variety of other publications for purchase. You can check them out by clicking here. Here are your potential membership savings:
Note: In many cases savings for Graduate and Undergraduate students are even larger.
Thank you for being a member of ADSA! If you are not yet a member, now is a great time to join and begin gaining the benefits of membership. Remember ADSA Professional dues are only $110 per year. They have not increased since 2000 and are the lowest professional dues of all animal science societies. Click here to join. .
ADSA ANNUAL MEETING - HAVE YOU MADE YOUR PLANS?
2019 ADSA Annual Meeting Call for Abstracts
The abstract submission site for the 2019 ADSA Annual Meeting is now open! Visit https://www.adsa.org/Meetings/2019-Annual-Meeting/Abstracts to submit your abstract. Submission instructions, quality standards, answers to frequently asked questions, and student competition guidelines are available on the page. There is no abstract submission fee.
Again in 2019-Platform Sessions
. In a platform session, an invited speaker leads off a themed or topical oral session with a 30- or 45-minute talk, which is then followed by submitted abstract talks. This oral session type can result in higher levels of engagement of oral session submitters/presenters, while disseminating the most current research. Platform sessions provide a third oral session option, somewhere between a symposium and a general oral session. When submitting your abstract(s), be sure to look for platform sessions that may incorporate your research.
The deadline for abstract submission is February 20, 2019, at 11:59 pm (CST).
2019 Interbull Annual Meeting to be held at ADSA
: For the second time since 2015, ADSA will host the Interbull Annual Meeting, to be held immediately before the 2019 ADSA Annual Meeting, to enhance the value of attendance for members of both organizations.
The 2019 Interbull Annual Meeting will take place from June 21 to 24 at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza Hotel, Cincinnati, Ohio. The 2019 ADSA Annual Meeting will begin on June 23 and run through June 26.
Interbull is a subcommittee of ICAR and completed 35 years of existence in 2018. Interbull includes more than 50 organizations from 32 countries (on all continents) that actively participate in Interbull activities involving international genetic evaluations of dairy bulls (83 populations from 6 breeds, delivering about 200,000 evaluations for 40 traits, 3 times a year).
In addition to the Interbull Annual Meeting, two Joint ADSA/Interbull symposium sessions are scheduled for the morning and afternoon of Monday, June 24, during the ADSA Annual Meeting and are open to all ADSA attendees. As a regular ADSA partner, Interbull continues to ensure a robust breeding and genetics program at the ADSA Annual Meeting.
Make plans today to attend the Interbull Annual Meeting and the ADSA Annual Meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio!
The 2019 ADSA Annual Meeting website is updated frequently with the latest meeting information, so bookmark the site and visit often. Housing will open soon and meeting registration will be available in early February 2019.
Just a few reminders
: The 2019 ADSA Annual Meeting scientific program will feature 1,200 oral and poster presentations from around the globe. Make sure yours is included, as 1,800 scientists from 50 countries meet in Cincinnati. Benefit from symposia, workshops, and preconference events presented by the world's leading animal and dairy scientists. Topics include dairy food science, dairy production, animal health and well-being, animal and human nutrition, food safety, and production and management. As always, the success of the ADSA Annual Meeting begins with the quality of the science presented-we look forward to your contributions to this global gathering of animal and dairy scientists.
