Testing of all tankers before entering the milk plant was instituted in 1992.
.
Changes to the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) implemented this testing program. Screening tests had been available prior to this, but federal requirements now made it mandatory for every milk tanker truck entering a milk plant. This stimulated the development of rapid screening tests for beta-lactam antibiotics which soon became widely available to milk processors, veterinarians, and dairy farmers. The FDA approved one screening test as the official bulk milk screening test.

Pushing up feed more frequently can encourage the cows to increase feed intake.
.
This is just one of the many benefits of frequently pushing up feed. Some farms do this with a push-up tractor, and some do this with a robot (pictured). The important thing is that you’re doing it well and doing it often. Studies show that cows that eat more will make more milk, and cows are more willing to eat a fresh, consistent ration.

One key component of #DairyKind training is to be aware of where the cows are at all times and not be distracted by phones or other things when working with cows. The technicians are handling heavy equipment and working around large animals. Safety is a big part of handling animals properly and maintaining safety and well-being!

We all know cows “chew their cud” but do you know exactly what that means?

Chewing the cud is incredibly important for the health of the rumen and therefore the health of the cow!

Milk can help lower your blood pressure.

High blood pressure is a main risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Diet can greatly help reduce blood pressure and milk has been shown to be very beneficial! Studies have linked this BP improvement specifically to milk protein, so yogurt and cheeses can help too when consumed as a part of a balanced diet!
