DHIA Records Meetings In Southeast
(Continued from Page A 37)
• Friday, February 2b,
12:30-3:00 p.m. - Honeybrook
Grange, Chester County.
For more information, contact
the respective County Extension
office: Berks- 215-378-1327;
Bucks- 215-345-3283; Chester
-215-696-3500; Montgomery
-215-489-4315.
Participants are urged to bring
their DHIA records to the meet
ings as there will be time to
answer questions.
It would be impossible to cover
the entire DHIA program in one
session, so three areas will be
emphasized.
The PA DHIA staff will explain
the wide variety of programs and
options that are available to mem
bers in 1993. A dairy producer can
tailor his program to the reports
that he needs and uses, and at a
cost that he can afford.
The Herd Summary Page II will
be the second segment of the
workshop. There are 13 sections
on this two-sided page ranging
from the herd’s genetic profile to a
reproductive profile, a somatic
cell county summary, and test per
iod daily averages, to mention a
few. There will be a discussion of
how to use the reproductive and
somatic cell count information’ to
evaluate and improve your man
agement practices.
The final area discussed will be
the new Individual Cow Page.
This is a detailed record of each
cow’s current production, previ

ous lactations, genetic profile,
reproduction summary, and prog
eny history. There are also four
graphs that show variations in
milk production, somatic cell
count, and protein and fat percent.
County Agents will point out key
areas that the dairy farmer should
watch and some corrective mea
sures that could be taken if a prob
lem is diagnosed.
The overall purpose of the
workshop is to better familiarize
PA DHIA members with the new
information that they are receiving
and how to use this data to
improve their operation. The
whole concept behind DHIA is
“Dairy Herd Improvement.” Now,
it may be nice to have a stock of
computer print-outs to impress the
neighbors, but unless they are
used to solve problems and fine

tune successful programs, the
money for testing is wasted.
A few examples of the econom
ic advantages of using DHIA
records based on a 50-cow herd
for one year with $12.00 cwt milk
are:
1 - Dropping SCC code from 4
to 3 will increase profits $2,400.
2 - Reducing calving interval
from 14 months to 13 months nets
$4,500.
3 - Increasing rolling herd aver
age 1,000 pounds per cow
increases gross income by $6,000.
4 - Increased milk production of
one-half pound per cow per day
pays for DHIA AM/PM testing.
There are many more examples
of the value of using DHIA
records, so plan to attend one of
the workshops and get your herd
moving in ’93.
