Delaware opens
first central
milk testing lab
NEWARK, Del. -
Delaware milk producers
and dairy dealers need no
longer travel out of state to
have their products tested.
The state’s first central milk
testing laboratory opened on
November 13, 1978 at the
Department of Agriculture
Building in Dover.
Before the computer age,
milk was tested by in
dividuals employed by each
county’s Dairy Herd Im
provement Association,
explains Delaware Ex
tension dairy specialist Dr.
George Haenlein. These
milk testers visited each
farm, sampled the milk, and
analyzed it themselves with
their own chemical ap
paratus. Since the dawning
of the computer age,
however, the DHIA testers
have found they could cover
more ground by doing only
the sampling and record
keeping themselves, then
sending the samples to a
central laboratory for
analyses. The collected
information then is stored
and processed by regional
computers.
Until recently, the closest
central testing laboratory to
Delaware was the one which
is located in Bucks County,
Pennsylvania. Now, for the
first time, Delaware has its
own 'facility. The new
laboratory was established
with funds appropriated by
the Delaware Legislature,
but in time it will become
self-supporting with users’
Tractor stolen from York man
YORK - A 1967 4020 John
Deere power shift tractor
was stolen from Charles
Schriver of York R 6, on
November 22.
The tractor had brand new
Goodyear tires. The serial
number is T213P161594R and
the engine number is
23E166093.
Also stolen were hand
tools, a power chain saw,
and hydraulic jack.
Anyone with information
fees. Some dairy farmers
pay more than $lOO per
month to have their cows’
production tested. The fee
depends upon the size of the
farmer’s herd.
The Dairy Herd Im
provement Association is a
voluntary non-profit
organization of dairy
producers. In addition to
testing milk, DHIA keeps
records of the genetic
potential of each animal
based on its production and
offspring. This is to insure
that the best animals are
bred in each successive
generation.
Fanners who are not
members of the DHIA may
have their milk tested at the
new central laboratory, but
production records are only
kept for members of DHIA.
Members’ dues and testing
fees are used to pay the
testers’ salaries and to
operate the regional com
puter at Cornell University.
The federal government also
supports the DHIA in a
limited manner by providing
the use of a national com
puter in Washington, D.C.,
and by lending the support of
Cooperative Extension
Service personnel such as
Dr. Haenlein.
States are mandated by
the federal government to
have dairy herd im
provement programs. DHIA
has become the model for a
number of similar voluntary
producer organizations in
other livestock industries.
