U.S. dairy exports post second straight record year
Strong global demand and tight supply helped drive U.S. dairy exports to a second consecutive volume record in 2021 and a new all-time high in value, according to the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC). U.S. export volume last year increased 10% over 2020 to more than 2.3 million metric tons (MT) milk solid equivalent. Value rose 18% to $7.75 billion.

Food manufacturers’ surprise profitability set to continue
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to defy conventional wisdom and economic norms surrounding the U.S. food industry. Prior to the pandemic, most food industry analysts believed that escalating input costs typically leads to a squeeze in profitability for food manufacturers before offsetting price increases can eventually take effect. But the unique circumstances of the pandemic led to a different situation unfolding in 2021.

Farm bill oversight begins
The current farm bill expires in 2023, leading those on Capitol Hill to begin its work of oversight of the 2018 Farm Bill. During hearings in early February, Robert Bonnie, undersecretary for Farm Production and Conservation, as well as Farm Service Agency Administrator Zach Ducheneaux and Natural Resources Conservation Service Chief Terry Crosby each offered their insight into what has worked well and opportunities to improve conservation programs as well as other tenets of the current farm bill.

ADSA Partner Webinar: Dairy Cattle Welfare Council
ADSA is pleased to share webinars delivered through our partner, the Dairy Cattle Welfare Council.
These one-hour live educational sessions are available to attendees from around the world. Live webinars are free of charge for all, but you must register. Recordings are available to active members of the DCWC (CC capable in Spanish, French, etc.).
“Longevity: life expectancy of what we expect of life”
According to Lactanet, a farmer-run organization serving Canadian dairy producers, “Longevity is calculated through the annual average percentage of cows in the herd on test day that are in their third or greater lactation. It is a measure of good management in regards to cow comfort, herd health, productive life, and a ‘problem free’ herd.”
But what is the right aim for longevity? Is it to increase? Is there a maximum?, or would it be better to think about optimizing longevity? Most likely, welfare isn’t necessarily served by the longest life, but rather by the optimized length of herd life instead. With the majority of research focusing on the genetic component of longevity, lesser focus has been on farm- and cow-level factors associated herewith. In this presentation, a reflection will be provided on the definitions and goals of longevity (or better length of productive life) and how they related to cow comfort and welfare statements.
By: Dr. Karin Orsel, Professor, University of Calgary
Date: February 16, 2022
Time: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
Webinars are geared toward dairy farmers, veterinarians, consultants, industry, Extension/academia, and government representatives interested in many aspects of dairy cattle welfare. Professional, undergraduate, and graduate students are strongly encouraged to participate. Continuing Education Credit is awarded on an hour per hour basis. Contact DCWCouncil@gmail.com after your participation to to request Veterinary CE documentation.

Be a Part of the Discussion: Join us for the 42nd Discover Conference - Managing Genetic Diversity for Future Dairy and Livestock Breeding
The 42nd Discover Conference- Managing Genetic Diversity for Future Dairy and Livestock Breeding will include virtual options. It will be held April 19-21, 2022 at Northern Illinois University Naperville Conference Center Hosted by the American Dairy Science Association®.
Conference Objective: Genetic diversity drives our ability to increase profitability through selection, shift selection objectives to meet new market demands, and adapt to new environments. For the past 50 years combined breeding entities have successfully made U.S. genetics globally preeminent -- increasing food security and providing marketing opportunities for U.S. breeders. With a range of new selection tools and methods to employ this is an opportune time to pause, reflect and plan how genetic diversity and inbreeding might be managed in such a way that further advances U.S. genetics for the greater good. Led by the USDA National Animal Germplasm Program, this Discover Conference is one part of a comprehensive approach to address the issue of genetic diversity. The goal of these activities is to promote a shift in how breeding, genetic improvement and genetic diversity are viewed and used in an intensive agricultural sector found in countries like the United States. Discover 42 participants, and in particular graduate students, are encouraged to submit a short abstract that describes new and innovative research findings relating to the conference program:.
Conference Topics
The call for poster abstracts is now open from the DC42 web site. “Quality Standards for Abstracts” and an “Abstract template” are there as well. Deadline to submit a title and brief abstract is 11:59 PM CDT on March 1, 2022. Abstract presentations are limited to in-person attendees and will take place in poster format on Wednesday, April 20, 2022 in Naperville, Illinois.
Who should attend: Various stakeholders in the breeding industry including breed associations, companies selling dairy and livestock genetics, companies developing and selling genomic technology, university scientists, and government agencies are all encouraged to participate. We want to extend a special invitation to dairy producers and breeders to attend this conference to lend their unique insights to the discussion. Graduate students and early career professionals are especially encouraged to attend.
The Early Registration Deadline is March 18, 2022. Registration fees increase by $100 after March 18. Click here for additional information.
