Symposium: Future of the National Cooperative Dairy Herd Improvement Program¹

Past, Present, and Future of the Dairy Herd Improvement Section

Animal Husbandry Research Division, USDA, Beltsville, Maryland

ABSTRACT

In this discussion I have tried to review for you the past, present, and future activity and interest of the Division in the National Cooperative Dairy Herd Improvement Program as carried forward by our organizational unit known as the Dairy Herd Improvement Section. We sincerely believe that this is a most important research and service program of benefit to the dairy industry. Our leadership is committed to carry forward as efficiently as possible the Department's part of this program in a truly cooperative venture with the State Extension Services, farmer participants, and other interested groups. We look forward to an active growth in this program and an increasing impact it will have on the economical improvements in milk production.

¹ Symposium presented before Extension Section, 58th Annual Meeting of the American Dairy Science Association, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, June, 1963.
