The seminar will incorporate the Remote Management System computer program into the discussion of more efficient herd management with dairy production records. At the seminar, farmers will leam how to interpret lactation curves and realize the significance of milk fat and protein curves in determining the effectiveness of their nutrition program. They will also learn to manipulate data to measure changes in the nutrition program as well as monitor reproduction and mastitis levels.
