New Prague, Minn. (July 10, 2023) – “A look to transition beyond the fresh pen,” presented in Portuguese, is the featured topic for the next Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council (DCRC) webinar. The free webinar starts at 2 p.m. Central time (Chicago time) on Sept. 12. Eduardo Ribeiro, a University of Guelph associate professor in the department of animal biosciences, will serve as the instructor for this one-hour webinar.
Ribeiro will explain how the quality of a dairy cow’s transition period determines the success of the subsequent lactation cycle. He will share insights on the impact of transition cow management on performance of dairy cows and economics of dairy operations.
Raised on a small family farm in southern Brazil, Ribeiro earned a veterinary medicine degree from Santa Catarina State University. In 2009, he moved to Florida to start his graduate studies at the University of Florida, completing a master’s degree in 2011 and a PhD in 2015. At the University of Guelph, Ribeiro teaches animal health and animal reproduction, and leads a research program in dairy cattle reproductive health.
