At this facility, with 20 cannulated lactating cows, research emphasizes the develop ment of products and feeding pro grams that improve rumen function. From this initial development work, products with commercial applications are evaluated at the Twin Oaks Dairy, a 500-cow dairy unit at Emmittsburg, MD. The Twin Oaks Dairy field research is a key segment of the successful dairy feed product devel opment program for Alliance Nutrition. At this facility, individual cow identification, daily milk produc tion and weekly measurements of milk components enable us to monitor and evaluate individual cow response to the ingredients, feed products and feeding programs being tested. This data is used to validate the commercial success of the Alliance Nutrition dairy feeding programs and enhances the confidence of commer cial success of these products and programs for our dairy customers.
