In this episode of The Dairy Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Massimo Bionaz from Oregon State University explains the power of nutrigenomics in enhancing dairy cow performance. He details how bioactive compounds can regulate gene expression to reduce inflammation, improve transition periods, and support metabolic balance. Understand the science behind transcription factors and fatty acid interactions. Listen now on all major platforms!"Nutrigenomics is trying to exploit bioactive compounds in the feed that interact with the genome."Meet the guest: Dr. Massimo Bionaz earned his Ph.D. in Dairy Husbandry and Production from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Italy, where he studied liver function and inflammation in dairy cows. He is currently an Associate Professor at Oregon State University, focusing on nutrigenomics, byproducts as feed, and dairy cow welfare.Click here to read the full research articles:Nutrigenomics in dairy cows: Nutrients, transcription factors, and techniquesAdvances in fatty acids nutrition in dairy cows: from gut to cells and effects on performanceFunctional Role of PPARs in Ruminants: Potential Targets for Fine-Tuning Metabolism during Growth and LactationLiked this one?
