Land O’Lakes Animal Milk Products introduces Cow’s Match WarmFront calf milk replacer, formulated with a unique combination of carbohydrates correctly balanced for when temperatures moderate. In warm weather conditions, calves’ energy requirements for maintenance are reduced. Transitioning to WarmFront calf milk replacer results in greater feed efficiency and bottom line potential. Cow’s Match WarmFront calf milk replacer also provides the most optimal protein-to-energy ratio milk replacer when cold stress is no longer a factor. Cow’s Match WarmFront and ColdFront calf milk replacer formulas represent a new way to approach calf nutrition. “With the introduction of WarmFront calf milk replacer, dairy producers can now offer a full potential milk replacer program formulated for the calf’s environment,” says Dr. Tom Earleywine, technical services director for Land O’Lakes Animal Milk Products.

Select Sires, Inc., announced the debut of StrataGEN, a unique, sequential breeding system that offers optimal use of genomic insights to help dairy producers achieve individual breeding goals while also minimizing inbreeding. StrataGEN uses genomic insights to categorize both daughter-proven sires and young sires into one of five unique genetic lines, based on common traits they’ve inherited from their ancestors, as confirmed by individual genomic testing. Each line is identified with a single color – orange, blue, green, yellow or red, for easy understanding and implementation into any dairy breeding program.
