Research by Federal Agencies on Dairy Manufacturing

Eastern Utilization Research Branch, Agricultural Research Service, USDA, Washington, D. C.

ABSTRACT

Research on the manufacture of dairy products as a function of the United States Government was first undertaken only a few years prior to the birth of the American Dairy Science Association, the first research bulletin having been published by the Bureau of Animal Industry in 1903. The Dairy Division had been established in the Bureau of Animal Industry on July 1, 1895, and authorized by the Congress "to collect and disseminate information relating to the dairy industry of the United States." That was precisely and exclusively what it did until 1902, when L. A. Rogers became an employee of the Division. There was an "expert in dairy chemistry," G. E. Patrick, working in the Bureau of Chemistry at that time on routine analyses for Henry E. Alvord, chief of the Dairy Division of the Bureau of Animal Industry; this work was being done in connection with efforts of R. E. Pearson, assistant chief of the Division, to make a sterile butter for shipment to England.
