Journal of Dairy Science

The Journal of Dairy Science (JDS) is the leading general dairy research journal in the world. JDS readers represent education, industry, and government agencies in more than 70 countries with interests in biochemistry, breeding, economics, engineering, environment, food science, genetics, microbiology, nutrition, pathology, physiology, processing, public health, quality assurance, and sanitation.

All full-text articles are available to the public free of charge. Go to www.journalofdairyscience.org for access.

JDS Communications

JDS Communications publishes narrowly focused, hypothesis-driven original research studies designed to answer a specific question on the production or processing of milk or milk products intended for human consumption. In addition to short research articles, JDS Communications publishes mini reviews—unsolicited, concise review papers. Research published in this journal is broadly divided into the production of milk from food animals (nutrition, physiology, health, genetics, and management) and processing of milk for human consumption (dairy foods). JDS Communications aims for rapid turnaround and a short time to publication.

All full-text articles are available to the public free of charge. Go to www.jdscommun.org for access.

ADSA Annual Meeting

Each year, thousands of dairy science professionals from around the world gather at this must-attend scientific meeting. The latest research is presented in oral and poster sessions, together with workshops, an exhibition, and unparalleled networking opportunities. 

ADSA Discover Conference

ADSA Discover Conferences℠ focus on topics of importance to the science of food animal agriculture and are held in a relaxed, informal setting. Sessions for this conference will allow ample time for discussion, networking, and relaxation.

ADSA Facts

ADSA Vision Statement: Science, education, and service for the global dairy sector.

ADSA Mission Statement: The American Dairy Science Association promotes the creation, dissemination, and exchange of scientific and technical knowledge to improve and sustain the global dairy sector, to the benefit of humankind.

Founded: July 17, 1906 as the National Association of Dairy Instructors and Investigators in Urbana, Illinois, with 19 charter members. In 1908, the organization's name was changed to the Official Dairy Instructor's Association. The next name change was made in 1916 to the American Dairy Science Association, which has stood for over 100 years.

Divisions of ADSA: ADSA is composed of two divisions: Dairy Foods and Dairy Production.

Membership: ADSA membership consists of individuals (on the professional, graduate, and undergraduate student levels), corporations, and institutions. Membership is international in scope; however, most reside in North America.
