Biography

Jud is a native of Sullivan County New York, where he was raised on a small Holstein farm.

Jud has been with Penn State since 1982 working in the areas of dairy nutrition and management with an emphasis in replacements; as well as dairy forages with an emphasis on diet particle size and physically effective fiber. Jud's interest in the growth and management of dairy heifers has allowed him to work on several population studies of growth rates of dairy heifers as well as revise the Holstein weight tapes currently used worldwide. He is also a co-inventor of the Penn State Forage and TMR Particle Size Separator.

Jud spent a sabbatical from 2008 to 2009 at the University of Bologna in Italy studying physically effective fiber needs of lactating cows. During a previous sabbatical from 1991 to 1992 with the USDA, he was in charge of the National Dairy Heifer Evaluation Project. He has authored over 135 journal articles and book chapters as well as many extension publications, primarily in the area of dairy replacements and forages.
