Dr. Jayasimha Rayalu Daddam presented a poster titled:

“IPP Supplementation Attenuates Inflammatory and Apoptotic Responses in Primary Bovine Hepatocytes”

at the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) 2025 Annual Meeting.

His work highlights the potential of isoleucine-proline-proline (IPP) in modulating liver inflammation and cell death pathways, contributing to improved bovine health at the molecular level.

Ghayyoor Ahmad, Ph.D. student, delivered an oral presentation at the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) 2025 Annual Meeting titled:

 “Differential Effects of Branched-Chain Amino Acid and Branched-Chain Keto Acid Supplementation on Amino Acid Metabolism in Fresh Cows.”

In addition, Ghayyoor presented a poster titled:

 “Rumen-Protected Aromatic Amino Acid (RP-AAA) Increases Plasma Amino Acid Concentrations and Hepatic Fatty Acid Oxidation in Dry Dairy Cows.”

Key findings from the poster include:

• Plasma AAA concentrations were significantly higher in RP-AAA cows compared to controls (P = 0.02), confirming effective rumen protection and intestinal absorption.

• RP-AAA supplementation increased plasma concentrations of total essential amino acids (EAA), non-essential amino acids (NEAA), and total amino acids (TAA), indicating improved systemic amino acid availability.

• Dry matter intake (DMI) tended to be higher in RP-AAA cows during the 7-day supplementation period.

• Hepatic fatty acid oxidation was also higher in RP-AAA cows, as suggested by increased 14C-palmitate oxidation.

We had an exciting and productive 2024. I am truly grateful for everyone's dedication, hard work, and contributions to our research endeavors. Your commitment has been the cornerstone of our success, and I am proud of our accomplishments together.

As the holidays approach, I wish you all the happiest of celebrations and safe travels to your loved ones. Enjoy this well-deserved time with your families and friends, and recharge for the exciting year ahead. I look forward to welcoming everyone back in 2025 for another year of discovery and progress.

Happy Holidays and see you in the new year!
