Champaign, IL, September 14, 2020 – The American Dairy Science Association (ADSA®) is pleased to announce a new information resource package for dairy professionals. The Searchable Proceedings of Animal Conferences (S-PAC®) and the Large Dairy Herd Management (3rd ed., e-book) will be provided as a package.
