38th Annual UCD Dairy Cattle Day
March 24, 1999
Main Theater
University of California, Davis
The UCD Dairy Cattle Day program is an outreach activity of the
campus sponsored by the Department of Animal Science and the Dairy
Research and Information Center. The goal of Dairy Cattle Day is
to extend information on current and emerging issues related to
the dairy industry and general public. The information provided
may be used by dairy producers, dairy processors, nutrition
professionals, allied industry professionals, and the general
public.
The program for 1999 Dairy Cattle Day program is presented below.
The most knowledgeable speakers are invited to participate on the
program, which means that individuals from all over the country
speak at Dairy Cattle Day. The break period during the morning
session gives folks attending the event a chance to visit with
speakers and friends and to enjoy the milk and cheese provided by
the patrons, sponsors and donors who provided financial support.
At the conclusion of the oral presentations, everyone travels to
the UCD Dairy Teaching & Research Facility for a box lunch.
Following the lunch, there are demonstrations. This year there
will be a demonstration on milk parlor design, and other smaller
demonstrations involving the computer record keeping system used
at the Dairy.
To provide a high-quality program with speakers from various
regions of the state and country, financial contributions are
needed. A number of individuals and companies provide financial
support. This support is used to pay for room rentals, publishing
of the proceedings, and food and drink at the break. The financial
support of these individuals and companies contributes greatly to
the success of the program.
The registration fee to attend is $15, and the box lunch is $5.
A copy of the proceedings is available at registration. This year
the proceedings will be put on the web following Dairy Cattle Day.
