Dr. Chuck Schwab: Beyond Protein in Dairy | Ep. 50
Amino acids, often termed as the fundamental components of proteins, play a vital role in diverse physiological processes such as growth, reproduction, immune response, and milk synthesis. Their significance in the nutrition of dairy cattle is undeniable. In this episode, we welcome Dr. Chuck Schwab, a distinguished Professor Emeritus from New Hampshire University and a trailblazer in this domain. He guides us through his profound research expedition, which began with a deep fascination for amino acids during his undergraduate years. From there, he delves into their pivotal contribution to the overall well-being and productivity of dairy cattle, offering invaluable insights on his journey's progress and challenges.
