DCRC 2026 Webinar Series

Register for the Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council’s (DCRC) next webinar – Effects of Rumen-protected Choline on Health and Reproduction of Dairy Cows – set for April 16, starting at 2 p.m. Central time (Chicago time). Fabio Lima, University of California-Davis aassociate professor of livestock health and theriogenology, will lead the free, one-hour webinar.

Rumen-protected choline (RPC) has emerged as a critical nutritional tool to support metabolic health, lactation performance and reproductive efficiency in modern dairy systems. This webinar will review the biological role of choline, summarize evidence from meta-analyses and recent large-scale field trials, and highlight its effects on milk yield, metabolic disorders and reproductive outcomes. Practical implications for transition cow management, profitability and dairy sustainability will be discussed based on published data and ongoing field research.

Lima received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from São Paulo State University in Brazil and completed his master’s degree and PhD training at the University of Florida. He then served as a postdoctoral associate at Cornell University, followed by a faculty appointment at the University of Illinois, before joining his current position in the department of population health and reproduction at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California-Davis, in 2020.
