Importance of Research to Producers

AIPL Centennial Celebration Producers assume less risk of failure Producers can implement new ideas and techniques with a higher reliability of success The implementation of research results has proven to enhance the producers bottom line Profit– Research allows producers to utilize new or improved practices with proof of success

Why and how do you support research? Dairy producers consider research a wise business investment. Dairy check off Beef check off AJCC Research Foundation, $1.4 million  Private contributions, sale consignments  Largest single contribution of $412,000 from 2005 National Heifer Sale AIPL Centennial Celebration

Supporting Jersey Research AJCC Research Foundation has funded $750,000 for Jersey specific research  Cow and calf nutrition  Mastitis research  Cheese yield research  Development and updating breed specific selection tools – JPI, FTI  Genomic research AIPL Centennial Celebration

Current Research Needs of Producers Genetic and nutrition relationships Conformation to withstand the accelerated production gains due to genomic selection Reproduction efficiencies Health Traits Disease resistance Milk components and/or transgenic qualities AIPL Centennial Celebration

Words of Guidance and Challenge The world’s population is rapidly expanding and the US needs continued research and development to help supply food and nutrition for this changing population Research needs to focus on healthy, environmentally friendly and consumer accepted results for our producer needs AIPL and other research related entities should be the leaders in educating and communicating with the consumer on animal welfare and food safety AIPL Centennial Celebration
