UNIVERSITY PARK - Every
day 12,000 Pennsylvania dairy
farmers scramble out ot bed
before sunrise, stumble through

milk that pays their bills, clothes
their children and ultimately keeps
the farm afloat. Ten hours later

New SWISH SATELLITE system waters
chicks and poults from day 1
The biggest problem with founts and other supple
mentary waterers is manpower—the labor needed to
clean and hand-fill them. Also, birds don’t always get
clean, cool, fresh water—which can cause health prob
lems and poor feed conversion.
But now there’s the new Swish
SATELLITE system.
It attaches to any Swish floor
watering system (and most other
brands, too), to give you an auto
matic system that baby birds take
to Immediately.
And your birds get fresher,
cleaner, cooler water that they
love to drink. Which means they’ll
drink more of it And that means
healthier birds.
The Swish SATELLITE also cuts
water waste which means drier
litter, less disease.

the single-most important task on

procedures and harvests the
maximum amount ot milk from a
cow m a sanitary environment, the
. hours spent developing the finest
nutrition, breeding and
replacement raising programs are
all for naught.

State dairy Extension specialist.
As a result ot the program’s
success, Ace said the Extension
had to train more people to run the
program so that additional schools
could be scheduled. Currently, 15
schools are scheduled and 10 more
may be added, Ace said.
The Milking Schools will feature
development of the mammary
system, anatomy of the udder,
milking machine function,
physiology of milk secretion,
cleaning and maintenance of
milking equipment, mastitis and
milking techniques. Penn State has
produced slide sets and films
especially for the program.
