National Dairy Advisory Committee—A Progress Report1

R. E. Hodgson

Animal Husbandry Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, USDA, Beltsville, Maryland

ABSTRACT

The United States Department of Agriculture announced the establishment of a National Dairy Herd Improvement Coordinating Group on April 22, 1965. Copies of the announcement were sent to the directors of state cooperative extension services, extension dairy specialists, dairy department heads, state DHIA Cooperative chairmen, the American Dairy Science Association, the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association, and the National Association of Animal Breeders.

The purpose of the National Dairy Herd Improvement Coordinating Group and its corollary regional subgroups is to provide a stronger base for formulating policy, rules, and regulations, and to administer the effective coordination and application of this program as it is carried on cooperatively by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the agricultural extension services of the land-grant universities and colleges.

The Extension Section of the American Dairy Science Association in 1963 recommended that the U. S. Department of Agriculture establish an Ad Hoc Committee to study and propose an improved organizational structure for the overall guidance and supervision of the Cooperative Dairy Herd Improvement and Sire Evaluation programs.
