Managing Dairy Milking Systems and Housing Facilities

2 credits · Undergraduate

Students examine in detail the management of the milking system and evaluate current and future options in milking systems technology. They also examine current and future options for housing and equipment, and analyze the ability of those options to meet the financial, environmental, and animal welfare goals of the operation. Tours and field trips give the students an opportunity to view a variety of housing and milking systems. Some of the tours or field trips may be conducted outside scheduled class time.
