In this episode, we dig into "The Britt Hypothesis" to understand how the dry period impacts dairy cow fertility and the significant role of epigenetics. Dr. Jack Britt joins us to discuss dry cow management and its influence on future generations. 

Dr. Britt challenges traditional dairy management practices, questioning the standard voluntary wait period and the conventional 365-day lactation cycle. With advancements in technology, he offers insights to help us rethink how to manage the herd to enhance fertility and productivity.

Born and raised on a dairy farm, Dr. Britt has dedicated his entire life to working in agriculture as a farmer, teacher, scientist, executive and entrepreneur. He has worked extensively in the USA and 23 other countries and has been an advisor to major government agencies that regulate foods and drugs. Today he provides expert worldwide consultation in emerging applied technologies; agricultural systems, biotechnology, and bioenergy.
