UC Davis CLEAR Center

A HUGE congratulations to Supatirada Wongchanla aka Jane, who was the recipient of the 2025 Swine Nutrition Heritage Fund Travel Award at the Annual ASAS Midwest Section Meeting in Omaha, Nebraska! ?? This year, Jane was joined by her peers, David Zhao and Cynthia Sun, along with Dr. Yanhong Liu and Postdoctoral Researcher, Sangwoo Park. As part of her recognition, Jane delivered her Award Talk titled, Effects of L-glutamate and L-aspartate supplementation on growth performance, diarrhea severity, immune responses, and intestinal barrier integrity of weaned piglets challenged with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli F18. ?? Together, the group — a shining representation of the brilliance coming from the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, had the opportunity to connect with scholars from surrounding regions, and exchange knowledge and insights into swine nutrition shaping the pig community. ?? We're proud of the great work coming from different focus areas at the UC Davis CLEAR Center, including swine research, and look forward to seeing many more accomplishments from our rockstar students. ?

How can we effectively communicate sustainable solutions to reduce greenhouse gases in livestock production???? ?? Joe Proudman, Associate Director for Communications at the UC Davis CLEAR Center, will be leading this insightful panel discussion at the 2025 State of the Science Summit: Reducing Methane from Animal Agriculture. ?? He'll be joined by Ginger Orton, Outreach Professor at The University of Georgia, Kelly Davidson, Assistant Professor at the University of Delaware, Jaime Luke, Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, and Natalie Kovarik, Podcast Host of Discover Ag and native Nebraskan Cattle Rancher.??? Together, they'll share real-world experiences, challenges, and success stories that offer valuable insights on how to turn complex sustainability concepts into easily digestible content to inspire action across the livestock sector. ??? We are extremely excited to be hosting this event alongside the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the California Department of Food and Agriculture and Spark Climate Solutions, and hope to see you there! Early Bird Registration ends on April 1st. Register now to secure your seat.??? https://lnkd.in/gAZNS6GY

Stewardship isn't just a practice for pig farmers — it's a legacy that is passed down from one generation to the next. For Randy Spronk, farming is more than a livelihood; it's a commitment to caring for the land, animals, and community he serves. See how one Minnesota pig farmer is making a difference for his family, his farm, and our planet. ?? ?? ??

We are just two months away from the 2025 State of the Science Summit: Reducing Methane from Animal Agriculture at the University of California, Davis! ??? This year, we're happy to announce that Dr. Alison Van Eenennaam will be joining the speaker lineup! As an animal geneticist at the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Dr. Eenennaam brings a wealth of knowledge in genomics and biotechnology, and will add a valuable layer of depth to the genetics panel discussion. ?? ?? ?? We look forward to an engaging event that brings together various stakeholders across beef and dairy supply chains. Register by April 1st for a discounted Early Bird Registration rate. ??

Happy #NationalAgDay! ?? We're fortunate to work in the agricultural space, where valuable research meets real-world solutions. At the UC Davis CLEAR Center, we're dedicated to supporting farmers and ranchers in improving their sustainability on farm through innovative tools and practices. ?? ?? That means working with a rockstar team of graduate students and expert faculty like Dr. Frank Mitloehner and Dr. Yanhong Liu to conduct research studies right here on campus. One current and ongoing project looks at the efficacy of feed additives like Bovaer in the long term, and we are excited to share data points when available. Other projects delve into manure management practices, mainly anaerobic digesters and manure additives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and gene editing in pigs. Always happy to share more about the work we do! Visit our website at https://clear.ucdavis.edu/ to learn more.

We are excited to announce that Aimable UWIZEYE, PhD, Livestock Policy Officer at the FAO, will partake in this year's State of the Science Summit at the University of California, Davis! ??? Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and reducing its emissions from animal agriculture is necessary to lower climate impact of livestock production. Aimable brings expert insights into effective global strategies that can help achieve climate goals in beef and dairy sectors. ?? ?? ?? Don't miss this opportunity to learn from an expert about global efforts to reduce methane emissions. Register by April 1st before prices increase. ?? https://lnkd.in/gAZNS6GY

Manure produced in pig farming is a valuable resource that is rich in nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Pig farmers like Randy Spronk, are storing manure in containment pits and using science to determine levels of different nutrients present. When combining it with a variable rate spread, they can maximize crop production and minimize waste on farm. ??

Genetics play a key role in reducing methane emissions while improving efficiency in livestock production. Join Matthew Cleveland, a leading expert in beef genetics at ABS Global for a panel discussion on leveraging genetics for low methane emissions and reductions. ?? ?? ?? 2025 State of the Science Summit: Reducing Methane from Animal Agriculture ???
