Producer Panel: How We Achieve > 7 lb. day of Milk Components with Corey Geiger and Guests14 Jul42 min

Recorded live from Tri-State Dairy Nutrition Conference, this episode of the Real Science Exchange brings together leading dairy producers and industry experts Corey Geiger, Tom Oesch, Scott VonGunten, Brock Peters, and Ryan Aberle, to explore one of the most important topics in modern dairy production: maximizing milk components. As component-based pricing continues to shape dairy economics, producers are increasingly focused on improving pounds of butterfat and protein while maintaining cow health, efficiency, and long-term profitability.

The discussion provides a behind-the-scenes look at how some of the industry's highest-performing dairies are consistently producing more than 7 pounds of milk components per cow per day, while pursuing the next milestone of 8 pounds and beyond. Through insights on genetics, nutrition, facilities, technology, and management, the panel shares practical lessons that can help producers elevate herd performance.
