Dairy Farm Score Card Revision

Report of the Regulatory Advisory Committee of A.D.S.A. (1955)

ABSTRACT

One of the necessary objectives of the dairy industry is to supply consumers with safe, sanitary, nutritious milk and dairy products that have good flavor and eye appeal. The industry must be able to do this at a cost that will encourage farmers and processors to provide an adequate supply.

The regulatory agencies are concerned about the amount of milk consumed because it is so closely related to the health of the people. However, their primary objective is not one of economics but rather one that will insure that the milk supply is safe, sanitary, and nutritious.

Many organizations (educational, regulatory, medical, and industrial) have contributed greatly to these objectives of the dairy industry and the regulatory or health agencies. The American Dairy Science Assoc., through its members has been among the foremost contributors. The success of these joint efforts is manifested in the fact that an abundant supply of safe high quality milk and dairy products is available and constitutes the most important single group of foods in the American diet.
