Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy launches new campaign
When thinking about a slice of cheddar cheese on a burger at the family barbeque, a cold glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream on a piece of birthday cake, there is no denying the enjoyment dairy products can bring to special moments and favorite foods. However, with so many choices in the dairy aisle -- including non-dairy and plant-based alternatives -- many people are seeking credible information about what dairy actually is, and they have questions about dairy industry practices.
In a multiyear effort to reintroduce America to dairy, the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy -- in partnership with America's Dairy Farm Families and Importers -- is launching "Undeniably Dairy," the first category campaign of its kind.

State milk regulators ask FDA to uphold dairy terminology
State milk regulators requested that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration work with them to enforce the proper use of milk and milk product labeling terms, especially those meant to distinguish between real dairy products and plant-based imitators - a development the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) hailed as "the strongest statement yet that the abuse of dairy terms has gone too far."
"It's time for FDA to work with state agencies in defending standards of identity for dairy products," said Beth Briczinski, NMPF vice president of dairy foods and nutrition.

NAFTA renegotiation notice sent to Congress
The Trump Administration formally notified Congress of its intent -- as required under the fast-track Trade Promotion Authority requirements -- to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The notification starts a 90-day consultation period with Congress and stakeholders, with published comprehensive summaries of its specific goals for the renegotiation presented 30 days before it can begin formal negotiations.

NMPF supports proposals to enhance safety of dairy foods
The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) helped secure several positive developments for dairy farmers and their cooperatives at the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments (NCIMS) last week, as multiple NMPF-led initiatives won approval from the NCIMS delegates during their biennial meeting.
NCIMS is a national cooperative regulatory program that includes state milk regulatory agencies, dairy companies and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, which work together to ensure the safety and integrity of Grade "A" dairy products. During the six-day meeting, delegates approved approximately 40 of the 100 proposals offered to revise the conference's model milk sanitation ordinance and supporting documents.

2017 ADSA Annual Meeting News
This year's scientific program is packed with more than 1,160 abstracts, including more than 530 oral and invited presentations, 630 poster presentations, and 31 symposia and workshops. There is something that is certain to interest everyone. Many social events are included as well that will provide ample time to relax, meet up with friends, and network with colleagues and collaborators.
Exceptional pre- and postmeeting events are included to fit the needs of dairy foods researchers:
The production of quality dairy products starts on the farm. High-quality dairy products are characterized by good flavor, long shelf life, and the processor achieving their quality goals for all of the products they make: fluid milk, ice cream, and aged cheeses.
This workshop addresses the gap in our understanding of the effect of production practices on raw milk quality and their subsequent effect on finished dairy products, by both producers and processors. The goal of this workshop is to tap into the expertise of ADSA scientists to conduct an educational program, in lay terms, for Pennsylvania and regional dairy producers and processors who wish to understand how farming practices affect the quality of dairy products and to learn strategies to improve dairy product quality. All interested conference attendees are also welcome.
The Teagasc/Moorepark-University College Cork Cheese Symposium will feature innovative leading-edge cheese research in areas including the biochemical, textural, and functional changes in cheese during ripening; the influence of manufacturing parameters on cheese ripening; the cheese microbiome; health and nutrition aspects of cheese; and the effect of diet (such as grass-based vs. non-grass-based systems) on the processing characteristics of milk and the flavor of dairy products.
The breadth of this symposium will be truly expansive, extending into areas of human health and nutrition, sensory science, molecular biology, pasture and herd management, and of course the chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, and technology of cheese. An important goal of this symposium will be to bring together a diverse audience of cheese scientists, cheese makers, processors who use cheese as an ingredient, and industry and academic leaders to consider the challenges that confront cheese research in the 21st century, and to explore new opportunities for international partnerships among academic and industry cheese scientists and their organizations to address challenges.

You can Still Become a Sponsor of the Large Dairy Herd Management (3rd edition, e-book)
Nonprofit organizations, companies, and individuals are invited to take advantage of the opportunity to sponsor one or more of the remaining available sections of the Large Dairy Herd Management (LDHM) e-book currently in development. Sponsors will receive recognition for a three-year period as the e-book is used throughout the dairy industry worldwide. The ADSA® Foundation is publishing this extensively revised and updated edition of the book in early 2017.
The third edition (98 chapters) will be available in e-book format (designed to allow for convenient updating) with completely new content. It will be sold at ADSA member, nonmember, and student rates and distributed directly by ADSA.
Anticipated users of the e-book include dairy management professionals, progressive producers, extension educators, consultants, upper-level university students studying dairy science and management, and allied industry representatives. The book is written in a practical application style but reflects the scientific rigor of the Journal of Dairy Science®.
As an e-book sponsor, you will receive international recognition for supporting the delivery of up-to-date, peer-reviewed dairy management information to the global dairy industry. Initial e-book section sponsors will have right of first refusal to renew after the initial three-year period of recognition. DON'T WAIT!
