Professional Animal Scientist Update

The Professional Animal Scientist has included some excellent review articles in recent issues. During 2013 and 2014 the following topics were reviewed:

• The welfare of gestating sows kept in different housing systems
• Milk-replacer programs and effects on eventual performance of Holsteins
• Colostrum supplements and replacers for calves
• Life-cycle, total-industry genetic improvement of feed efficiency in beef cattle
• The rumen microbiome: Composition, abundance, diversity, and new investigative tools
• Adoption of mastitis-control technologies 
• Applied nutrition of ruminants—Current status and future directions
• Fermentation and digestive physiology
• Carbohydrate and fat considerations
• Applied protein nutrition of ruminants
• Mineral and vitamin nutrition in ruminants
• Nutrient needs of goats while grazing
• System application of sexed semen in beef cattle

I encourage you to call these review articles to the attention of colleagues. These and other articles can be accessed at http://pas.fass.org/ and provide members with excellent updates on various topics. 

Many members do not subscribe to a paper copy of the Journal, so the e-mail notices that a new issue is available on-line are important. If for any reason you are not receiving an e-mail notice when each issue is available, please contact Mr. Holzner at the FASS Headquarters.
