The Dairy Innovation Hub will host an informational research poster session at the State Capitol March 26 to highlight select projects funded by the initiative at UW–Platteville, UW–Madison and UW–River Falls.
Attendees are invited to browse a dozen research posters and engage with students and faculty affiliated with Hub-funded projects. Legislators, staff and the public are encouraged to participate.
Dr. Zifan Wan, assistant professor of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences in the UW-Platteville School of Agriculture will address enriching human health and nutrition with the utilization of the novel atmospheric cold plasma technology for controlling Listeria monocytogenes in cheese brine.
On the same day, farmers and ag industry professionals will be in the building for legislative discussions and visits as part of Ag Day at the Capitol, coordinated by Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation.
The Dairy Innovation Hub, is supported by a $7.8M annual state investment to drive research and development across the UW–Madison, UW–Platteville, and UW–River Falls campuses, ensuring that Wisconsin’s $52.8 billion dairy community remains a global pacesetter in producing nutritious dairy products. This is all accomplished with a keen focus on economic, environmental, and social sustainability.
