Congrats Emily Miller-Cushon. Well deserved.

How does hay provision impact behavioral development? 🐮 Recent work from our lab shows that dairy calves provided hay didn't perform better during a reversal learning task or improve their ability to adapt to novel social groups after weaning! Emily Miller-Cushon

Emily Lindner, Katie Gingerich & Emily Miller-Cushon presenting important data on health and behavior around social housing of dairy calves #ISAE2021 . Similar to some preliminary data from Liz Whitney Knauer, take a look at our poster tomorrow!

My favourite tweets are those that show the biological nature of domestic animals, something we way too often forget as we're busy making them fit our purposes. They're much more fascinating the way they are than the way we are trying to make them!

Congrats Emily Miller-Cushon on your NIFA grant! Looking forward to great research coming out of your lab! #UFAnsci UF IFAS Solutions UF/IFAS College of Agricultural and Life Sciences @UF

In a recent study appearing in #JDSCommunications , Emily Miller-Cushon from UF IFAS Animal Sciences Dept. shows that five minutes of human company—and neck scratches—may help reduce stress and improve well-being for weaning dairy calves.
