6 new infographics show what USMCA does for the U.S. dairy industry

By Mark O'Keefe
 
Benefits include preserving U.S. dairy access to Mexico, increasing access into Canada, protections for common cheese names and reforms to Canada’s dairy pricing system. 
 
The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) on Thursday, raising an obvious question dairy farmers and exporters need to know: What will USMCA do for us? 
 
The U.S. Dairy Export Council and the National Milk Producers Federation have created six educational infographics that answer that question with words, images and data.
 
The infographics above and below were created for easy downloading and sharing. The images can be published on websites and other platforms without written permission.

Genetics vs Genomics in Swine - Dr. Max Rothschild

Video: Genetics vs Genomics in Swine - Dr. Max Rothschild



In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Max Rothschild, Distinguished Professor at Iowa State University, explains how genetics and genomics have transformed swine production. He explores genomic selection, key gene discoveries, and the role of gene editing in improving disease resistance and productivity. Practical insights on litter size, meat quality, and industry adoption are also discussed. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Genetic improvement in swine production accelerated significantly once molecular tools enabled identification of DNA level variation influencing growth, reproduction, and meat quality across commercial populations."

Meet the guest: Dr. Max Rothschild / max-f-rothschild-b3800312 earned his PhD in Animal Breeding from Cornell University and has spent over four decades at Iowa State University advancing swine genetics and genomics. His research focuses on genetic improvement, disease resistance, and molecular tools for swine production. A leader in pig genome research, his work has shaped modern breeding strategies.
