Dr. Phil Cardoso is a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Cardoso’s program builds from questions from dairy producers and focuses on having the dairy cow’s diet as a medical prescription for performance, health, and reproduction. This is achieved by understanding the impact of nutrition on metabolism, reproduction, and health in dairy cows, as well as the mechanisms of metabolic adaptation to stressors and to forage quality.
