PDPW Announces Speakers for Weekly Dairy Signal

The Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin says another group of speakers are set to take part in the online Dairy Signal program this week.

On Tuesday, University of Wisconsin-Extension Specialist Kevin Erb, who serves as director of the Conservation Professional Training Program, will explain the best practices for managing manure and key steps to take if a manure spill occurs.

Dr. Frank Mitloehner Department of Animal Science at the University of California-Davis will be Wednesday's guest. He will talk about how farmers in his state have already reduced methane production by 25 percent in order to meet strict environmental regulations imposed by California lawmakers.

And on Thursday, a producer panel will discuss their experiences in switching to a calf pasteurizer feeding system and how the new system fits into their operation.

All episodes are free and available to the public, accessible from www.pdpw.org. They are streamed live at 12:00 noon or available on demand for later playback.
