Recently UW-Extension Milk Quality Specialist Pam Ruegg looked at the associations of bedding type and selected management practices with bulk milk quality and productivity of 325 larger Wisconsin dairy farms. To learn more about the study comparing milk quality and productivity of large herds based on bedding type, please visit the Journal of Dairy Science abstract Association of bedding types with management practices and indicators of milk quality on larger Wisconsin dairy farms.
UW-Milk Quality promotes an integrated, team-based approach to best manage udder health and milk quality. Producing high quality milk is not a one-person job. It takes farmers and their local dairy advisors to be able to evaluate, manage and improve milk quality. At UW-Milk Quality, we develop tools and resources to help dairy producers meet their milk quality goals and increase farm profitability.
