According to a new report from CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange, the decoupling of fluid milk production and milk component production represents an important paradigm shift for the dairy industry given growing consumer demand for manufactured dairy products. More than 80% of U.S. milk production goes into dairy food products that rely on milk components while less than 20% goes into the fluid beverage category. Would U.S. milk composition and consumer demand benefit from a more comprehensive monthly report from USDA that includes milk, protein and butterfat production levels?
Joining us in this episode to discuss this topic in more depth is Corey Geiger, lead dairy economist with CoBank. We caught up with Corey at this week’s World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis.,

Swine health concerns can challenge pig livability and various avenues of sustainability like animal wellbeing and business continuity. There are Checkoff-funded tools producers can use to improve animal health, protect pigs and people with strict biosecurity, implement traceability standards, learn from already-established resources and explore potential solutions like gene editing.
Among the many topics of discussion that we had at World Pork Expo was that pig livability. Specifically, we looked into Check-off funded tools that producers can use to improve pig health. Our Ann Hess leads that conversation. While at Expo she sat down with Drs. Chris Hostetler, Director of Animal Science, Marisa Rotolo, Director of Swine Health and Brent Pepin, Director of Swine Health, all with National Pork Board.This episode has been sponsored by United Animal Health, a leader in animal health and nutrition.
