Host Dairy Day JAYNE SEBRIGHT Lancaster Farming Staff GREENCASTLE (Franklin Co.) —165 dairy fanners and agri business representatives attended Franklin County Dairy Day, held last Friday at Kauffman’s Com munity Center. The topics of discussion included fixing mastitus problems and installing proper ventilation in milking centers. Dr. James Spain from the University of Missouri spoke about managing mastitus problems from the feed trough. According to Spain, mastitus is the most costly disease in the dairy industry today. His figures show that subclinical mastitus can cost a farmer up to $2OO per cow per year, while clinical mastitus cost around $4O per cow per year. Spain listed four factors that play a role in a cow’s resistance to mastitus. Those included how fast the milk comes out of the teat can- al, whether the animal leaks milk, how close the teats are to the ground, and the diameter of the teat canal. Vitamin E, copper, zinc, and selennium in the diet can help pre vent mastitus through increasing resistance, according to Spain. Feeding these ingredients can also help animals recover quicker.

Dan McFarland, agricultural engineer and York Co. extension agent, reviewed the latest options in ventilating the milking facility. According to McFarland, proper ventilation should keep animals cool in summer and remove excess moisture from the facility. He listed the four things that proper ventilation helps to regu late, including moisture, gases and odors, pollutants, and temperature. The four areas in a dairy that must be ventilated include the holding area, milking parlor, milk room, and equipment room. McFarland emphasized that the caretakers’ needs should also be considered when designing milk ing parlor ventilation. “Animals only spend minutes in the parlor,” said McFarland. “But caretakers spend hours, and the equipment spends years.” Dr. Bhushan Jayaro and Dr. Dave Wolfgang of Penn State also spoke during the meeting. Their presentation covered bulk tank milk analysis and its relation to udder health. 28 exhibitors displayed the lat est in dairy technology and resour ces available to farmers. Overall, Franklin Co. extension agent Phil Wagner felt the event was very successful. “I received many positive comments, both on the overall meeting and on Dr. Spain’s presentation,” said Wagner.
