Dairy Ingredient
Marketing Adds Value
ROSEMONT, 111 - A new
marketing campaign to promote
food technologists' understand
ing and usage of nonfat dry milk
and dry whey, funded by the
dairy checkoff program, has
been launched.
The new $3 million effort,
themed Do it with dairy™, posi
tions these two key dairy ingre
dients as value-added compo
nents in both existing and new
food formulations.
"Dairy farmer-funded market
research identified nonfat dry
milk and dry whey as a priority
growth opportunity for the dairy
industry,” said Bill Haines, vice
president, Business to Business
Marketing, dairy Management,
Inc. ,
Research from the American
Dairy Products Institute shows
the use of nonfat dry milk in
mixes and blends has been
growing at a compounded annu
al r,atq of 45 percent ls92
to 1996. Dry whey usage in
mixes and blends has increased
at a compounded annual rate of
nearly 13 percent during that
same period.
"While awareness of dairy
based ingredients is universal
and usage levels are high, we
still can provide more informa
tion on the versatile functionali
ty of nonfat dry milk and dry
whey to encourage greater use,"
said Haines. "Every penny per
pound increase in the price of
whey alone translates in a five
to six-cent per hundredweight
increase in the value of milk."
According to Haines, these
dairy ingredients are vital com
ponents in a wide range of food
products, including dairy, baked
goods, meats, confections, bever
ages and snack foods.

thousands of people making
genetic decisions,” he said. “If
we as the beef industry are
going to supply cattle and
enhance the beef industry, we
are going to change the genetics
so the product we produce will
have the highest value possible.”
Wallace said in order to
change genetics, each individual
breeder must first look at the
five major traits of economic
importance. Those traits include
birth weight, growth, milk pro
duction, fertility, and carcass
traits like marbling and retail
product. Once these five traits
are considered, breeders will
need to use some type of index
ing system to select bulls on an
economic-value basis.

"The integrated marketing
program now in place also will
provide dairy ingredient tech
nologies to food manufactures to
build demand for nonfat drv
milk and dry whey," said
Haines. "It's readily apparent
there is a strong market for
highly functional ingredients
backed by helpful technical sup
port. Therefore, we are offering
extensive assistance to food
technologists via a technical
support hotline, targeted adver
tising, newsletter, technical
white papers and immediate dis
semination of ingredient infor
mation upon request. Our goal is
to meet and exceed the market
place requirements by providing
information and much-needed
education on dairy ingredients."

Wallace has developed a for
mula, which he calls the “Power
Score,” for computing an index
on bulls. He adds the birth,
weanling, yearling, and milk
expected progeny differences
(EPDs) percentiles and divides
them by four. The bull with the
lowest number has the best
power score. Using carcass data,
Wallace has developed a new
carcass power score. This formu

effectively in ether ways as well.
Last year, the board held an in
formal research “focus group”
meeting at Penn State, including
board members, researchers, ex
tension agents, college adminis
tration and individual growers.
Extension agent John Yocum also
serves as a PASB director, helping
to provide valuable field expertise
and two-way communication be
tween PASB directors and other
Pennsylvania farmers.
“The board welcomes grower
input in determining research pri
orities,” Gerhardt noted. “As a
grower funded effort, the soybean
checkoff is most successful when
growers share their insights and
opinions on what is most valuable
to them so funds can be directed
toward those needs.”
Project results for 1998 grants
will be available in April 1999 by
calling the PASB office at (410)
742-9500. Interested producers
are also encouraged to call the of
fice now to request results of 1997
production research projects
which have just concluded.
