PennAg cosponsors
dairy seminars
ephrata
sylvama dairymen are
losing money to subclinical
mastitis and inefficient
feeding practices, according
to Dr. Richard S. Adams,
extension dairy specialist at
Penn State. Adams and Dr.
Larry Hutchinson, Penn
State’s newly appointed
extension veterinarian,
recently conducted a series
of six regional dairy
seminars to drive these and
other facts home to dairy
servicemen.
The one-day seminars
were held throughout the
state and were well at
tended, according to Adams.
“In all, w? had about 350
people at the meetings,” he
said. “We had a lot feed
business people,
veterianarians, farm len
ders, vo-ag teachers, ex
tension people, and other
groups. The seminars
weren’t designed so much
for farmers as they were for
the people who serve far
mers.”
Co-sponsoring the
seminars with the University
was PennAg Industries
Association, a trade
organization of Penn
sylvania agribusiness firms.
Penn Ag’s education com
mittee, chaired by Kenneth
G. Beachley of the Beachley-
Dealer
INC.
Penn-
Model 850 Round Baler
MODEL 276
BALER
Hardy Seed Co. in Camp Hill,
laid the initial groundwork
for the seminars. The
committee also suggested
much of the program con
tent, and the PennAg staff
arranged for the facilities.
Adams said the meetings
were well-received, and that
there will probably be
similar meetings either
annually or every other
year. Future seminars might
focus on milking systems,
housing, and farm business
management.
The emphasis this time
was on cow nutrition and
health. Hutchinson told each
of the groups that Penn
sylvania dairymen are
losing anywhere from 10 to
15 percent of their potential
income every year to sub
clmcial mastitis, the kind
that doesn’t show up in
simple barn tests. He
stressed the need for good
milking procedures,
sanitation, diet, and frequent
testing for mastitis-causing
organisms.
Another point brought out
in the seminars was the
advantage of free choice
feeding of a complete ration.
Adams said if a cow is of
fered a balanced ration, she
will eat until she’s had
enough to fill her energy
needs, then she’ll stop
