Symposium: Education for Leadership in Dairying in Latin America^{1, 2,}

Department of Animal Husbandry, Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.

ABSTRACT

This symposium was organized by the International Relations Committee of the American Dairy Science Association to promote better mutual understanding of educational problems, needs, and opportunities in dairying throughout the Americas. The program was developed on the assumption that the key to a more important and progressive dairy industry in the future in any country is a better supply of well-trained people to provide the leadership needed in all aspects of dairying. There is general agreement that among the developing countries of the world the most underdeveloped science is animal science. Latin America is no exception and if dairying is to become important greater emphasis must be given to education in dairying to provide the leadership needed for this development.

Because dairying covers such a broad and diverse discipline it was decided to restrict this symposium to dairy production; therefore, relatively little time will be devoted to dairy processing and manufacturing.
