The value of milk continues to remain high due to value of milk protein (over $4.30 cent a pound), consumer demand for cheese and milk protein, and world markets.  This pod cast is a new approach which is a presentation at the 2008 IL Dairy Days with power points and a longer recording (27 minutes).  Topic areas include the evaluating on-farm approaches to increase milk protein, reasons for low milk protein yield, use of amino acid ration balancing software to build rations, economic comparisons of protein-based feed ingredients, and the use milk urea nitrogen (MUN) as a management tool when evaluating protein status of a herd.
