Dairy nutrition has come a long way in terms of manipulating diets to feed the cows. Besides that, producing more efficient animals is essential to economically succeed and better reduce the environmental impacts of dairy systems. This issue is precisely Dr. Sebastian Apelo's focus in his research. In today's episode, he brings up an essential discussion on how we can manipulate diets to directly affect the functions of the mammary gland, thus making it more efficient in utilizing nutrients – especially nitrogen – and enhancing milk production.“Among different nutritional approaches, we are trying to turn on the mammary gland, which demands more nutrients.” - Dr. Sebastian Apelo???? ??? ???? ?????:Nitrogen use efficiencymTOR pathway signalingNutrients as fuel vs signalingAmino acid metabolism in the liver and mammary glandThe theory for limiting amino acidsNitrogen: footprint and economic impactMass spectrometryOther potential modulators of mammary gland activityDr. Sebastian Apelo has received his B.S. in Dairy Science from the University of the Republic, Uruguay; his M.S. in Animal Science and his PhD and Postdoc in Dairy Science from Virginia Tech; and his Postdoc in Endocrinology from the University of Wisconsin. He currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal and Dairy Sciences of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, having previously held the position of Assistant Professor in the Department of Dairy Science of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Postdoctoral Research Associate positions. Throughout his career, Dr. Apelo has accumulated 6 awards and 30 publications, and is a member of the American Dairy Science Association.?????? ?? ????? ????????, ??????? ?? ??? ????? ????????.The Dairy Podcast Show is trusted and supported by innovative companies like:- AB Vista (https://www.abvista.com/)- Protekta (https://protekta.com)- DSM (https://www.dsm.com/anh/species/ruminants.html)- Diamond V (https://diamondv.com/)
