alleyway and parlor holding area.
ITie extreme of that section,
opposite the parlor, is used for
additional frees tails, but appears
that it could be easily converted
into an alleyway if another couple

added, as a sister to the existing
one.
The frees tails are bedded with

ground-rubber filled mattresses,
and each stall has a water
dispenser.
Headlocking gates along feed
aisles are used, again being espe-
cially necessary because of the
research work to be done, and the
necessity for catching cows.
Part of the facility has a space
for 48 comfort stalls where cows
can be tied-up at specific feed bins,
primarily for nutritional studies.
There is also a commodity
building and bunker silos are
located to the north of the bam.
The flushing system uses
16,000 gallons of recyclable water,
and the manure lagoon can hold
10,000 cubic yards of manure.
It took 130 truckloads of cement
to construct the Marshak facility.
But more than all of that, it took
support and dedication of men
such as Dr. Allum and Marshak,
and those in the industry who
helped provide support for the
project.
The Center for Animal Health
and Productivity at New Bolton
Center was established in 1986 to
implement teaching, research and
service programs directed toward
the improvement of health and
productivity in food animal herds.
The Marshak facility is to serve
as a living laboratory for the vet
school and as a research and teach
ing site in dairy cattle health, pro
ductivity and economics.
It is also to enhance the teaching
environment for veterinary and
graduate students interested in the
medical and managerial aspects of
