compiled, a team of Extension
specialists at College Park will
prepare a set of written recom
mendations. This team will include
expertise in the areas of animal
science, veterinary medicine,
agricultural engineering and
agronomy (crop production).
Copies of the recommendations
will be sent to appropriate county
Extension agents, veterinarians,
dairy co-op fieldmen and milking
equipment dealers.
At least one member of the
Extension specialists team will
visit each participating farm,
along with a county Extension
agent, to discuss the recom
mendations.
After the recommended changes
are made, farm visits will occur
every one to three months to fine
tune the changes. Progress in milk
production will be monitored via
computer print-outs from Dairy
Herd Improvement records. Milk
will be sampled from individual
cows every six months in all
participating herds to check
progress on mastitis control.
Participating farmers will be
asked to visit their county Ex
tension office once a year to review
the interpretation of DHI records.
How will the project be finan
ced?
Peters reports that start-up
money has been provided by four
regional milk marketing
cooperative organizations serving
Maryland. Remaining costs will
come from a direct charge to each
participating dairy farmer and
through contributions of staff time
by the University of Maryland’s
Cooperative Extension Service.
In addition to a financial
obligation, eacch participating
dairy producer must agree to the
following stipulations:
—Obtain signatures of your co
op fieldman, veterinarian and
equipment dealer pledging their
support in carrying out practices
recommended by the University of
Maryland Extension team;
—Be a member of the Dairy
Herd Improvement milk-testing
program and enroll in the DHI
somatic cell count program.
