How fetal programming and early life feeding of Bacillus-based microbial biosolutions support cow-calf success

On-demand

Give your calves the best start before they’re even born.

 

Research shows that fetal programming and early-life nutrition shape lifetime performance, health, and efficiency in cattle.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • How fetal programming influences calf development and productivity.

  • Why Bacillus-based microbial biosolutions matter for gut health, immunity, and growth.

  • Practical feeding strategies to support stronger calves and more profitable herds.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the science and discover how to apply it in your operation.

Dr. Philipe Moriel

Associate Professor, University of Florida - Range Cattle Research & Education Center in Ona, FL

Dr. Philipe Moriel is an Associate Professor at the University of Florida - Range Cattle Research & Education Center in Ona, FL, where he dedicates 60% of his efforts to research and 40% to extension. His innovative work focuses on cattle adapted to tropical and subtropical environments, addressing crucial gaps in cow-calf management and pioneering advancements in beef production. Dr. Moriel's research emphasizes the necessity of adapting management practices to meet the unique physiological and metabolic needs of Bos indicus-influenced breeds. Through multi-disciplinary studies, Dr. Moriel has led groundbreaking research on three major areas in beef cattle management, advancing sustainable practices that are setting new standards for the industry in tropical and subtropical regions. More specifically, his program explores: (1) novel supplementation methods to enhance reproduction of beef females; (2) gestational nutrition to explore epigenetics and modulate future offspring performance; and (3) management strategies to boost health and productivity of growing beef calves. With 118 peer-reviewed publications and $14 million secured through 60 grants as PI and Co-PI, Dr. Moriel's contributions are transformative.
