National Dairy Herd Improvement Association Coordinating Group Report

Animal Husbandry Research Division, USDA, Beltsville, Maryland

ABSTRACT

The first meeting of the National Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIA) Coordinating Group was held in Washington, D.C., February 23–24, 1966. All thirteen representatives were in attendance.

Objectives. The broad objectives of the Coordinating Group are to bring about more complete and effective integration of the operational and administrative aspects of the National Cooperative Dairy Herd Improvement Program at the National, Regional, State, and County levels. It provides direct representation from the segments of the dairy industry that depend heavily upon the use of the data produced. It provides a stronger base for the formulation of policy, rules, and regulations and for administering their effective coordination and application to the DHIA Program.

Strengthening DHIA. Much of the first meeting was devoted to the question of how can the Coordinating Group best act to assist in strengthening DHIA.
