Dr. Kenneth Kalscheur received his B.S. in Dairy Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Animal Science from the University of Maryland. For 13 years, Kenneth Kalscheur was a Professor of Dairy Science at South Dakota State University. Since 2014, Dr. Kalscheur is a Research Animal Scientist at USDA-Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Research conducted by Dr. Kalscheur focuses on the utilization of forages, alternative feedstuffs, and feed additives in dairy cattle diets to improve milk production, milk composition, nutrient utilization, and feed efficiency while reducing nutrient excretion and gaseous emissions to the environment. The overall goal of Dr. Kalscheur‘s research program is to investigate how we can increase the use of forage and fiber in high production dairy cow diets while minimizing impact on the environment.
