Online Webinar Series
This four-part Webinar series can help participants utilize customized online spreadsheets to assess monthly dairy tests.
Topics and dates for this online webinar series are listed above. Each session is offered 10:30 a.m. to noon (EST/EDT)
- Maggie Carter, research technician, W.H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute
The Penn State Dairy Data Analysis Tools are four separate analysis trainings designed to utilize customized online spreadsheets to assess monthly dairy test day records in the following categories:
- culling
- somatic cell count
- fat-to-protein ratio
- milk yield
Participants can select any combination of the above categories and learn how to utilize provided tools to interpret a herd’s monthly data. Analyzing monthly test day records graphically and dynamically may aid in determining which cows or groups of animals are not performing to their optimal potential.
Not only will participants learn alternative ways to interpret monthly records, they will also have access to specialized online tools to assist with the interpretation and assessment of monthly records.
