2014 is almost behind us and it is time to usher in the new year. On behalf of all of the faculty of the Fatty Acid Forum, we sincerely thank you for diving in to better understand the fatty acid portion of your dairy cow diets. We are confident that your customers and cows are better off because of it!

As a kick-off to 2015, we have something old and something new for you. If you've kept up on the videos throught this past year, be sure to check out the new and final video in the series on the Essential Fatty Acids with Dr. Charlie Staples, where he explores the evidence for deficiencies or benefits from essential fatty acids in dairy cattle.
