Livestock Biotech Summit Address Care And Use In Animals

Jul 18, 2014

Scientists and researchers are actively engaged in finding ways to improve the care and use of animals in biomedical applications and food production. Programming at this year’s Livestock Biotech Summit will address new methods for ensuring optimal care and use of agricultural animals for a range of applications. The 2014 Summit will be held September 16-19, 2014, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota at the Sioux Falls Convention Center.

“Can you imagine a time when cures to life threatening diseases are developed faster and at less cost or when technologies to improve the environmental footprint of animal agriculture are common place? These achievements are within reach through biomedical and food animal biotechnology applications,” said Cathy Enright, Executive Vice President of Food and Agriculture at BIO. “We know consumers have questions and we know consumers have questions about the care and use of these animals. This year’s Livestock Biotech Summit programming will stress how researchers are mindful of the care and use of animals for biomedical applications and for food production.”

Video: How Millions of Dairy Cows Are Milked Daily for Cheese & Milk – Inside Modern Dairy Farming

Step into the world of dairy farming, where technology and tradition come together to produce premium milk and cheese. In modern dairy farming, cows are raised in climate-controlled barns, monitored by smart sensors that track health and milk quality. Automated milking machines and robotic cleaners ensure hygiene and efficiency at every stage of dairy farming. Once collected, the fresh milk is transported to advanced facilities, where the dairy farming process continues — pasteurization, fermentation, and cheese making powered by precision equipment. From lush pastures to sterile factories, dairy farming represents a revolution in how the world’s finest dairy products are made — sustainable, efficient, and delicious.
