Cheesemakers large and small from across the Northeast have turned to CALS’ Food Processing and Development Laboratory (FPDL) for small-batch production and dairy expertise as they develop new recipes

Discovery could help direct strategies to increase crop yields or breed plants better adapted to climate change

The MQC+ replaces wet chemical analysis, which uses hazardous chemicals, and allows the measurement of more samples much faster

The ORACLE, based on a very recent breakthrough in NMR technology, is the first ever rapid fat analyzer that requires absolutely no method development and can analyze fat in any unknown food sample with reference chemistry accuracy and exceptional repeatability

Calves born to cows experiencing heat stress during early pregnancy experience related effects that continue throughout their lives, according to a new study from the Journal of Dairy Science®

Genomes2Fields aims to improve the nation’s corn crop by uncovering how genomes—the blueprints for plants—are turned into yield, stress resistance, and all manner of different traits

Achieving gains in agricultural production depends on adequate levels of soil micronutrients like copper, low levels of which can impact yield by reducing fertility and, in extreme cases, lead to total crop failure

Finding out more about the mechanisms behind complex traits like disease resistance has the potential to help plant breeders build the best traits into tomorrow's corn plant, says researcher

In the first six weeks, the supplement resulted in 700 grams of gains in lean body mass—the same amount of muscle the men involved in the study would normally have lost in a year

Last year, researchers harvested strawberries grown in low tunnels for 19 consecutive weeks from mid-July through the week of Thanksgiving

Study is published in the July 7 issue of Science Magazine
