An associate professor of nutri- vours£U^ tion, James Ferguson, VMD, of the New Bolton Center, Universi ty of Pennsylvania, is to be one of the featured speakers. He is to speak on the subject of milk urea nitrogen. Dr. Ferguson has conducted extensive research on MUN test ing. He will share some of his research findings along with pointing out several other advan tages to testing for MUN. Pa. DHIA started testing fin milk urea nitrogen on Oct 2. This test gives the dairyman the oppor tunity to see how his cattle are reacting to the current feeding ration. Overfeeding or underfeed ing protein along with other man agement possibilities may affect the herd’s reaction to the ration. There is no charge to county delegates to attend the meeting, to stay overnight, or for the asso ciated meals.
