Participation in ADSA 2025 Annual Meeting
Our lab actively participated in the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) 2025 Annual Meeting, where we had the opportunity to present our research, network with peers, and celebrate notable achievements.
We are proud to share that our team received two awards in the Undergraduate Student Division (USD) Poster Presentation category:
Maria Gojcaj won 1st place
Edward Kolodziej secured 3rd place
In addition to these honors, Dr. Jayasimha Rayalu Daddam presented a poster titled “IPP Supplementation Attenuates Inflammatory and Apoptotic Responses in Primary Bovine Hepatocytes”, highlighting the potential of nutritional modulation in bovine liver health.
Ghayyoor Ahmad, Ph.D. student, delivered an oral presentation titled “Differential Effects of Branched-Chain Amino Acid and Branched-Chain Keto Acid Supplementation on Amino Acid Metabolism in Fresh Cows”, showcasing critical insights into transition cow nutrition.
Beyond our scientific contributions, the meeting provided a vibrant platform to connect with researchers, industry professionals, and fellow students. Lab members engaged in productive discussions, explored collaboration opportunities, and deepened their understanding of current trends in dairy science.
We also shared several team lunches and dinners, strengthening our bonds and celebrating our collective success.
Overall, ADSA 2025 was an enriching and rewarding experience for our lab, reaffirming our commitment to impactful research and collaboration within the dairy science community.
Our lab is proud to share that we won two awards in the Undergraduate Student Division (USD) Poster Presentation category at the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) 2025 Annual Meeting!
Congratulations to Maria Gojcaj for winning 1st place and to Edward Kolodziej for securing 3rd place for their outstanding poster presentations!
A big thank you to the ADSA 2025 for recognizing their hard work and scientific contributions.
Congratulations to Maria Gojcaj for winning 1st place in the Undergraduate Student Division (USD) Poster Presentation at the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) 2025 Annual Meeting!
Your dedication and scientific excellence are truly commendable!
Congratulations to Edward Kolodziej for winning 3rd place in the Undergraduate Student Division (USD) Poster Presentation at the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) 2025 Annual Meeting!
Well done on this impressive achievement!
Ghayyoor Ahmad Presents Research at ADSA 2025 Annual Meeting
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.”
You can view Ghayyoor’s LinkedIn post with key takeaways and highlights from this presentation https://www.linkedin.com/in/ghayyoor-ahmad-937963153?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app
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.
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.
