He is a lactation physiologist specializing in mastitis. He outlined to the group where the, state’s DHIA program' has "been and new innovative changes which need to take place to keep the program progressive. Heald stated that expansion of the State testing facilities and the programs provided through DHIA are vital. This has included moving the program into a new testing facility at Penn State and pur chasing new testing machines to replace outdated models. The new machines will test for both but terfat and protein. Heald sees protein testing as the trend of the future already being in demand by producers, processors, and the A.I. industry.

Computers in the lab are now being “married" so that they are in corporated into one complex computer, eliminating the need for extra technicians. Heald said he would like to {purchase SIOOiOOO of the hardware necessary for the DHI to do its own data entry work. DHI presently rents computer space from the University. Dr. Heald agrees that this looks like, a large-sum, but in five years the investment could return that value three times in the savings on rented computer time and space. “Through automation DHI. hopes to/serve you better, faster, and more efficiently,” he said. Heald notedthat current trends have shown that AM-PM testing is now DHTsmost’ popular program. With this program more herds can be tested with the present number of supervisors and studies have shown that it is the second most accurate-of the testing programs preceded only by the owner sampler program.
