Regional Projects and an Extension Viewpoint

Department of Dairy and Animal Science, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

ABSTRACT

A. Regional projects

Interested workers met at the 54th Annual Meeting of the American Dairy Science Association in 1959 at Illinois and appointed a committee¹ on milk solids research work composed of a representative from each of the four regions, Southern, Northeastern, North Central, and Western. The functions of this committee are: (1) to serve as an interim committee until formalization within some framework of the Land Grant College Associations has been accomplished; (2) to promote the formalization of the interregional effort; (3) to have each representative of the committee work with project leaders to implement and coordinate the cooperative effort in his region; (4) to implement and coordinate the cooperative effort nationally; (5) to develop standardized procedures for quantitative determination of milk constituents and collection and processing of data.

Actions taken by the committee include:

1. The recommendation that the study should include 1,500 cows for each region of each of the five major dairy breeds or 6,000 cows per year from each of the five breeds.
