ABSTRACT
Dairy research in the US is conducted by scientists at the state agricultural experiment stations (SAES); in laboratories financed by federal government, principally in the Science and Education Administration (SEA); in non-Land Grant colleges and universities; and in private industry. An analysis of trends in dairy research support in the states, including the use of federal funds by SAES, is in the companion paper by Flatt (4). This paper will be directed principally to analyzing trends in support of in-house (i.e., USDA) dairy research since 1956.
In the Golden Jubilee edition of the Journal of Dairy Science, Hodgson (6) describes USDA dairy production research to 1956. More recently, Hodgson (7) has prepared an extensive review of dairy production research by the USDA from 1895 to 1980.
