Beef On Dairy webinar to look at early-life BRD impact
The I-29 Moo University Beef On Dairy Dialogue webinar series continues from 12 noon to 1 p.m. Oct. 28, as Ingrid Fernandes will discuss how her study followed BXD cattle from weaning through slaughter to understand how early-life bovine respiratory disease influences performance and carcass value.
Fernandes is a graduate research assistant in the department of animal science at Pennsylvania State University. Her study shows that bovine respiratory disease can leave lasting effects beyond the initial illness, underscoring its importance for both animal health and industry profitability.
She is originally from Brazil and has a background in ruminant nutrition and management, calf health, and livestock production systems. Her academic and professional experiences across Brazil and the United States have given her a comprehensive understanding of animal science, with a special emphasis on calf development, traceability, and feedlot management. She is passionate about integrating research with industry practices to support sustainable and profitable animal agriculture.
There is no fee to participate in the webinar; however, registration is required at least one hour prior to the webinar. Register online at:
