SDSU Research Featured at Midwest Meeting


By Scout Nelson

South Dakota State University’s Department of Animal Science is set to make a significant impact at the 2025 Midwest Section meeting of the American Society of Animal Science, scheduled from March 9-12 in Omaha, Nebraska. This event will spotlight the department’s latest research and extension projects, showcasing the efforts of both graduate and undergraduate students.

During the annual conference, attendees will experience a robust agenda that includes student competitions, symposiums, and various presentations. These sessions provide a platform for SDSU students and faculty to share their research findings through both oral and poster presentations, focusing on the breeding, nutrition, and growth performance of swine, beef cattle, and sheep.

The meeting will serve as a crucial educational opportunity, allowing students to engage with other national and international research in the field of animal science. The presentations will cover a broad spectrum of topics relevant to current trends and advancements in livestock management.

Research topics presented by SDSU faculty and students include the influence of maternal nutrition on calf performance, the benefits of dietary supplements in swine survivability, and innovative feeding strategies that enhance milk production and environmental sustainability in beef production. Each study provides insights into improving animal health and productivity, which are critical for advancing the agricultural industry.

The conference not only facilitates knowledge exchange but also reinforces SDSU’s commitment to contributing to the field of animal science. With participants from across the Midwest and parts of Canada, this event underscores the regional importance of agricultural education and research in shaping future practices and policies.

This gathering highlight the ongoing commitment of the American Society of Animal Science to foster innovation and growth in animal husbandry, ensuring that the latest scientific research reaches those who can apply it most effectively in the agricultural sector.
