Got dairy? Science, that is.

We spoke with Jillian Bohlen, associate professor in the UGA Department of Animal and Dairy Science. Devoting her career to helping students apply what they learn, this award-winning educator utilizes interactive group discussions and hands-on activities to inspire the next generation. Listen in as she answers some of our questions about the dairy industry like: What is voluntary milking? What is the purpose of a fistulated cow? And how do you tell the difference between a dairy and a beef cow?
