How GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are redefining the dairy sector

2 weeks ago | dairyglobal.net | Aidan Connolly

While obesity dominates headlines, a subtler wave is reshaping the dairy landscape. GLP-1 medications, originally engineered for diabetes management, have skyrocketed to prominence as weight-loss catalysts. With 40% of the global population overweight or obese — nearly double the undernourished — healthcare systems strain under the weight.
The century of viruses: From farmer to sentinel

3 weeks ago | dairyglobal.net | Joao Pedro Pereira |João Pereira

Just this past Easter, I found myself on a road trip, weaving through cities like chapters in a European novel – Prague, Brno, Vienna. As I pulled away from Prague, windows cracked open and music playing, I noticed a fly had snuck into the car. No big deal, I thought. I lowered the window to let it out, assuming it would take the hint. Several hours later, as I cruised into Vienna there it was—buzzing around. And that’s when it hit me – I had just transported a fly across borders. Innocently.
Flaxseed and pea protein feed could boost milk production and reduce methane

3 weeks ago | dairyglobal.net | Tony McDougal

Researchers have been testing a novel type of cattle feed that could help reduce methane emissions. The team from the University of Florida have looked at a potential dairy cattle supplementary feed made of flaxseed and pea protein to reduce methane. When cows’ stomachs make methane, they lose valuable energy that could otherwise be used to make milk or meat.

What’s NEW in the dairy farming world? We report on the launch of a new milk cell analysis device, the opening of an agricultural research center in Brazil, and a bolus that detects bird flu up to a week before symptoms appear.
Why effective mycotoxin management is more urgent than ever

1 month ago | dairyglobal.net | Tony McDougal

Fumonisins (FUM), deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN) were the most frequently found mycotoxins in the first quarter of this year. The dsm-firmenich mycotoxin survey for January-March analysed 6,000 samples from 70 countries and concluded the highest prevalence was found in China and South Asia.
A novel tool in the feed safety toolbox - Dairy Global

1 month ago | dairyglobal.net | Vincent ter Beek

The toolbox with regard to feed safety has been filled with an additional component. In a special event preceding VIV Asia 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand, this March, feed additive producer Kemin launched a new feed decontaminant. The product, called Prosidium, would be filling a hole in the market, according to the company. For a long time, formaldehyde was considered the gold standard when it came down to feed decontamination, intended for pigs, poultry and dairy cows, for example.
Which US states will see avian influenza emerge and which are at greater risk?

1 month ago | dairyglobal.net | Zana van Dijk

To answer some important questions surrounding H5N1, scientists looked at the ongoing H5N1 influenza in dairy cows in the US in a recent study. Which states will be impacted in the future and are at higher risk? Is under-reporting of avian influenza in dairy cows an important factor, and what about the sufficiency of current interventions? In this research the scientists also present a simulation model to test transmission and predict the scale of the disease.
Despite avian influenza global feed production grows

1 month ago | dairyglobal.net | Tony McDougal

Despite the ongoing issues posed by high pathogenic avian influenza, economic uncertainties and climate fluctuations, figures show animal feed production rose last year. Figures released by Alltech in its Agri-Food Outlook showed animal feed production rising by 1.2% to 1.396 billion metric tonnes in 2024 from 1.380 billion mt in 2023.
Feeding dairy cows cottonseed helps increase milk fat

1 month ago | dairyglobal.net | Marieke Ploegmakers

A new study from Penn State shows that adding 15% whole cottonseed to dairy cow feed can help to boost the production of milk fat. Whole cottonseed is a byproduct of processing cotton for fibre and is high in unsaturated fatty acid and the protein that cows need to produce milk fat.
Heat stress and its impact on fertility traits in dairy cows

1 month ago | dairyglobal.net | Zana van Dijk

What impact does heat stress have on conception rate, interval calving to first insemination, interval first to last insemination and calving interval in dairy cows? Researchers reveal their findings in a recent study. In this study, published in the Journal of Dairy Science, researchers used temperature-humidity index as an indicator for assessing heat stress conditions for fertility traits in the Holstein dairy cattle breed in the Netherlands.
