Pa, DHIA Testing Saves Money
•Dropping SCC code by one
(4 to 3) will increase profits by
$2,400.
• One Code 8 cow produces as
many somatic cells as 32 Code 3
cows.
•One or two high SCC cows
can keep the whole herd from
receiving quality bonus.
Example: 50 cow herd with a
17,000 pound herd average
would lose $1,700 per year (20
percent cwt. bonus).
•Cutting calving interval
from 14 months to 13 months
increases profits by $4,500.
•Reducing breeding services
per cow from 2.2 to 1.7 will save
$250 per year in semen cost
alone for a 50 cow herd using
$lO/unit semen.
• By reducing feed cost $1 -
per hundred weight of milk, you
will save $8,500 in one year.
•Overfeeding grain one
pound per day will cost $1,642 at
$9 cwt.

• In the last 90 days of a cow’s
lactation, feeding three pounds
less will save over $1,212 at $9
per cwt.
• You can identify low testing
cows, so borderline production
cows can be culled. Example:
Cow A 17,000 lbs. @ 2.8% fat =
$1,945 milk value. Example:
Cow B 17,000 lbs. @ 3.7% fat =
$2,067 milk value.
• Increasing rolling herd
average by 1,000 pounds per cow
increases gross income by
$6,000.
•Increased milk production
of one half pound per day/per
cow pays for DHIAAM/PM test
ing.
