“Implant Physiology and Opportunities for Dairy Calves” headlines the Sept. 25 Dairy Calf & Heifer Association (DCHA) webinar. Bryan Bernhard, managing nutritionist on the Beef Strategic Technical Services team at Zoetis, will address implants and how they impact the physiology of calf growth during this free, one-hour webinar, which starts at 12 p.m. Central time (Chicago time).

During this webinar, Bernhard will discuss how to properly administer a growth implant, what happens at the muscle level, and how that connects to calf performance. Next, he will review the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) guidelines for production phases (GFI #191), which implants are approved for use in each phase, and their respective growth responses. Bernhard will wrap up the webinar by reviewing lifetime implanting options and on-farm support opportunities that will help educate veterinarians, managers and farm employees.
Bernhard has been with Zoetis since 2016 and helps support customers and nutritionists from Texas to the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, he works with new product development and monitoring research trials in the areas of growth promotion and nutrition. Prior to joining Zoetis, Bernhard was on faculty at Texas Tech University in a teaching and research role. His research focused on starter cattle programs and growth-promoting technologies. Bernhard earned his bachelor’s degree in animal science and master’s degree in ruminant nutrition from Texas Tech University, and his doctorate in ruminant nutrition from Oklahoma State University.
