As consumers undergo huge diet shifts, dairy plays a huge role, thanks to its offerings of high protein counts in small food servings, in addition to other health benefits — such as vitamins and amino acids — they can provide.

Hilmar's PROtelyze Bio-Brain, a groundbreaking whey-derived ingredient, is set to redefine cognitive health in dairy. Named the 2026 Breakthrough Award winner, this innovative nootropic harnesses targeted peptides to boost memory and cognitive performance with just one gram daily.

In Jerome, Idaho, Actus will purchase and assume operation of Darigold's milk protein plant with continued quality milk supply from Darigold's member-owners. In Sunnyside, Darigold will produce and supply high-value whey products to Actus under a long-term commercial agreement. Darigold will continue to own and operate the Sunnyside facility.

The New Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025-2030 emphasize three goals: 1) Eat the right amount; 2) Prioritize protein at every meal; and 3) Include dairy, even full-fat options without added sugars. Gut health is also highlighted, and KJ Burrington notes that cultured dairy products meet these criteria.

Proper infant nutrition is crucial for growth and health during the early years. While breastfeeding is recommended, formula options are available for varying needs. Learn how to choose the right infant formula that meets nutritional standards and supports your baby's development.

Whey, once seen as a byproduct, is now a valuable resource for dairy processors, projected to grow into a $26.24 billion market by 2034. Innovations in membrane filtration and byproduct recovery are driving this shift, enhancing sustainability and protein extraction.

Consumer demand for lactose-free dairy is rising, driving the use of membrane filtration to remove lactose while preserving nutrients. The market is projected to reach $12.54B by 2026 and $18.95B by 2035, fueled by lactose intolerance, health trends, and innovation.

Cheese yield, or the product obtained from milk, is crucial for optimizing plant operations. Even minor yield differences significantly affect revenue. With the increased use of concentrated milk, monitoring efficiency has become even more essential, according to Dr. John Lucey.

Offering all nine essential amino acids, the brand's new Protein Coffee intentionally combines fast-absorbing whey protein for muscle recovery with milk protein for slower digestion, supporting longer-lasting satiety and sustained energy.

Dairy processors are increasingly turning to advanced membrane technologies to boost product yield while maintaining efficiency and quality. Innovations in ultrafiltration, including optimized temperature control and homogenization, have been shown to enhance protein retention and minimize fouling. This highlights the importance of upstream processing conditions alongside membrane design in achieving higher yields.
