DFO unveils Moo’seum by MilkUP to promote dairy in fresh, modern way

Jun 16, 2023

It is well-known that Gen Zs love the arts—both as a way of seeing the world and as a means of self expression. DFO is excited to create an interactive (and delicious) art-filled world for them to explore the many ways dairy, the ultimate moos, has shaped culture. Inside Moo’seum, Gen Zs will be able experience dairy in fresh, modern ways.

With help from local artists and makers, Moo’seum will merge Gen Zs love of in-real-life events, food, and art to create a space that’s part art gallery, part museum, part cool cafe. Guests will see exclusive milk-themed works from their favourite artists, enjoy snacks from their favourite local hotspots, and have the opportunity to participate in’ surprise and delight’ special programming throughout the month.

Moo’seum is post-to-pay, meaning guests will have to follow MilkUp on Instagram or TikTok to enter and will need to post something from inside the experience to exit with their dairyinspired merch and treats. This helps encourage engagement, spreads the world online, and prompts dairy-forward conversations among our Gen Z audience. The gift shop is created in the style of a museum gift shop (think MoMa or the Tate), with items made in collaboration with Moo’seum artists.

Video: Season 6, Episode 10: Defining Resiliency and the Research Driving Swine Health Forward

Genetic research and new technologies continue to influence the future of swine health and production efficiency. In this episode, we explore how research and technology are being used to support stronger, more resilient pigs, while also improving overall production outcomes. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger, geneticist with Topigs Norsvin, to discuss both routine and emerging strategies for improving piglet, pig, and sow livability. She outlines two primary approaches to enhancing resiliency: gene editing and traditional selective breeding. Continuing the resiliency conversation, we also hear from Dr. Lucina Galina, director of technical research projects at the Pig Improvement Company. She shares insights into ongoing gene-editing work focused on PRRS, detailing the pathway to success, regulatory and practical considerations, and the questions that still remain as the technology evolves. Together, these conversations provide a closer look at how research, genetics and innovation are shaping the future of swine health and livability.
