U.S., China reach truce on tariff increase
On Friday afternoon, it was announced that the U.S. and China had reached a partial agreement in the trade war between the two countries. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the 25 to 30% hike set to go into effect on Oct. 15 will not be implemented as the U.S. and China finalize this part of the trade deal. The meeting follows two days of talks between high-level trade negotiators.

Oklahoma State unit returns to College of Veterinary Medicine
In 2004, the veterinary medicine program at Oklahoma State University became known as the Oklahoma State University Center for Veterinary Health Sciences, the only such institution whose name did not contain "veterinary college" or "veterinary school" of the other veterinary colleges in the U.S. and most international colleges of veterinary medicine.

Congress should compel FDA to enforce butter law, says ABI
Noting that the Butter Act of 1923 gives the Food & Drug Administration no leeway in enforcing a congressional statute that defines butter as a dairy product, the American Butter Institute sent letters to the chairmen and ranking members of the House Energy & Commerce Committee and the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee urging them to compel FDA to enforce federal law against plant-based imposters that illegally misuse the term "butter" as a marketing trick.

Reports from the 2018 EAAP Novus award winners
Russell Pate,
PhD Candidate, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
As winner of the 2018 ADSA PhD Oral Competition in Knoxville, TN, I had the opportunity to travel to Ghent, Belgium this past August to present at the 2019 EAAP meeting. This trip was possible thanks to a joint venture between Novus International, ADSA, and EAAP. While at the EAAP meeting, I was able to present a portion of my PhD research entitled, "Mitigation strategies improve performance and reduce inflammation in aflatoxin challenged dairy cows". I was happy to receive some great questions and comments from other conference attendees. Additionally, I was very interested in the other presentations that I listened to while at EAAP. I especially enjoyed hearing about different problems that researchers face in other parts of the world, and learning about their solutions to these problems.
Not only did I attend the EAAP conference, but I also had the opportunity to experience the great city of Ghent. One of my favorite experiences was touring the Gravensteen Castle and learning about its fascinating history. As you can see in the picture it was quite the site! Also, I had the opportunity to experience some of the local cuisine. I pint of Duvel or Chimay Tripel! Additionally, I was able to make a quick trip to the neighboring city thoroughly enjoyed my dinners of moules frites, waterzooi, and stoverij, and especially getting to wash them down with a of Bruges to see the outstanding architecture and river ways that the city has to offer.
Thank you to Novus International for the funding of an amazing trip to Belgium! Additionally, thank you to ADSA and EAAP for providing the opportunity to present my research and learn about others research at very stimulating conferences!
Ruth Davis
Department of Livestock Innovation, The Danish Agricultural Research Centre.
As a winner of the Young Train Session at the EAAP, 2018 in Dubrovnik, Croatia, I received a travel grant from NOVUS international. This gave me the unique opportunity to attend the ADSA, 2019 meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio and present my work. Right outside the venue for the ADSA meeting there was a big picture of a flying pig, stating "
Dream big & fly high"
. I think that this in some ways describes my experience at the ADSA meeting. It was a big dream to present my work at the ADSA and after the presentation it felt like I could fly high.
Visiting the ADSA meeting was a great experience, and it was very interesting to see which hot topics were on the program in the United states. I learnt a lot and have taken some new perspectives back to Denmark. Besides from the very interesting scientific program, I met many new, interesting and welcoming people. Several new connections have been made, and hopefully I will get the opportunity to visit again.
I would like to extend my appreciation to NOVUS international for funding this trip and enabling me to have this great experience. I would also like to thank EAAP and ADSA for allowing me to share my work.
We are pleased to announce the recent additions of the Proceedings of 2019 Western Canadian Dairy Seminar to S-PAC.

Abstract submission site for 2020 ADSA Annual Meeting now open!
Visit
https://www.adsa.org/Meetings/2020-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 2020-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, 2020, at 11:59 pm (CST).
The
2020 ADSA Annual Meeting website will be updated frequently with the latest meeting information, so bookmark the site and visit often. Housing will open in November 2019, and meeting registration will be available in early February 2020.
